The National Autism Center has completed the National Standards Project, launched in 2005, and published the National Standards Report
which covers a broad range of applied treatments and identifies the level of scientific evidence available for each. The project provides
critical information about which treatments have been shown to be effective. The report will serve as a single, authoritative source
of guidance for parents, caregivers, educators and service providers as they make informed treatment decisions.
