National Autism Center's National Standards Project

The National Autism Center's National Standards Project evaluates and identifies evidence-based practices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) interventions. Its goal is to guide educators, clinicians, and families in selecting effective treatments backed by scientific research. The project reviews existing studies to determine which strategies reliably improve skills and reduce challenges for individuals with autism. By setting clear standards, it helps ensure that interventions are both effective and ethically sound, ultimately supporting better outcomes and quality of life for people with autism.
