The DADD believes professionals who serve individuals with autism or developmental disabilities are ethically obliged to use evidence-based practices. Evidence-based practices have been subjected to careful scrutiny under high-quality experimental conditions and proven beneficial. The DADD also recommends professionals avoid disproven and unproven practices, especially when promoted using testimonials, social media, and other non-scientific sources.
