About Us
Autism Research & Treatment is the product of Sara Gershfeld, a
Scripps College alumni, who has been trained
in the treatment of autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at the Claremont Autism
Center. With the help of Dr. Marjorie Charlop-Christy, a Professor of
Psychology at Claremont McKenna College and specialist in Autism, they have
formed A.R.T. with the goal of raising funds to promote the research and
treatment of children with Autism.
A.R.T. is managed by a team of passionate behavioral therapists, researchers,
physicians, and other professionals interested in helping people with
autism live a fulfilling and happy life.
Our Mission:
Autism Research & Treatment, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization dedicated to increasing student participation in the field of
autism and meeting the financial needs of students already involved in
autism research projects.
Our mission is to address the needs of children with autism with an
emphasis on empirically validated research. Finally, it is our goal to increase
awareness of available treatment opportunities by making the findings of
sponsored projects easily accessible through our website.
