Great articles from the March organization for Autism Research e-newsletter

Under the header of "Science, Fads, and Behavior Analysis", the March Organization for Autism Research (OAR) newsletter, The OARacle, reprinted an article from the Autism Spectrum News, Winter 2010, 2(3), p. 21, by Dr. Thomas Zane, Ph.D., BCBA-D
A Review of Relationship Development Intervention: Is It An Evidence-Based Effective Treatment?
While the conclusions of Dr. Zane's examination of RDI is informative, there is at least equal value in the description of the process starting from literature review through comparison to accepted criteria in determining validity as an evidenced-based practice.

Another interesting article of practical value is,
"How to: Keeping your child safe"
Take Practical Steps to Ensure Your Child’s Safety
Kate Britton, M.S.Ed., M.A., BCBA  and Bridget A. Taylor, PsyD, BCBA-D,
Readers are encouraged to browse the entire March issue, as well as the OAR website to become acquainted with OAR's activities, and funded research and scholarship programs.
