Each of ASAI's members actively conducts experimental research to define critical variables related to the development of effective intervention procedures, administrative systems, and the implementation of the educational model we all use. Research from each of the individual member sites is shared with the ASAI membership and the autism and behavior analytic communities, at large, through national and international presentations and publications.
