Association for Behavior Analysis International

According to National Bureau of Statistics of China (2018), in the year of 2017, there were over 68 million children under the age of 5. Even if 1 in 1000 children with ASD is estimated (Sun, Allison, Auyeung, Baron-Cohen, & Brayne, 2013), the number of young children with ASD would still be over 68,000. The need of ASD treatment and support in China is extreme and urgent. Established in 2017 and centered on a perspective of “rooting on the present, outlooking the future”, ALSOLIFE provides family centered services through empowerment and continued supports. With the development of new technology and big data analysis of nearly 100,000 children with ASD in all ages, ALSOLIFE has created an online platform to help parents and teachers individualize assessment and treatment plans. It also provides a series of formal and informal online training courses, taught by ASD professionals around the world, aiming to enhance the knowledge of behavior science and promote general autism awareness.

FASST’s mission is to contribute to the well-being of society by promoting teaching, professional education, collaboration, research, and competency driven applications of the science of behavior analysis to solve problems in the home, school, community, and workplace through application in settings that include public, charter and private schools; clinics; learning centers; and in the context of tutoring. FASST strives to create, promote, and otherwise enhance domestic and global dissemination of scientifically sound and otherwise reliable information on behavioral services and science, and to promote collaboration that advances this goal. Core objectives of FASST are to promote collaboration among those engaged in behavior analysis, to support development and expansion of a learner- driven science of teaching for all children, to improve ongoing and future applications of behavior analysis directly and through the education of those providing and receiving behavior analytic services, and to raise awareness of and otherwise link the public and behavior analyst with evidence-based and otherwise scientifically sound behavior analytic resources.
