The Self & Match System is firmly grounded in the principles of behavioral science and self-management interventions.  Researchers have gained valuable insights by studying self-management since the 1960’s. Self-management using a social accountability check-in (match component) has been shown to be highly effective since the 1970s.

Recent evidence of self-management interventions has been synthesized in variety of places including, but not limited to:

• National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence and Practice Review Team: Evidence-Based Practices for Children, Youth, and Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
• The National Autism Center’s National Standards Report
• Research Synthesis on Effective Intervention Procedures from the University of South Florida Center for Evidence-based Practice
• National Professional Development Center- Evidence Based Practices.

Further, the Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT) promotes safe, effective, science-based treatments for people with autism. ASAT’s carefully curated booklist is a beacon of insights related to autism and research-based treatment options across the lifespan. We are honored that the Self & Match Manual is among the line-up of remarkable books penned by esteemed leaders in the field. We are fortunate that other researchers and practitioners have also been investigating the effectiveness of the Self & Match System.
