✗ Skip if Practitioners already drowning in paid CE options.

01Research in Context

01

What this study did

The 2020 INSAR president wrote a short note. He told members that keynote talks from the yearly meeting are now online. Anyone can watch the videos for free.

No experiment was run. No clients were seen. It is a one-page letter in the society journal.

02

What they found

The letter simply says the webinar library is open. You can stream past keynotes at no cost. It counts as continuing-education credit.

03

How this fits with other research

Mundy (2020) wrote almost the same note two months earlier. Both letters share society news without data. They are direct replications in print.

Bailey (2008) launched the journal itself, promising wide reach. Anonymous (2020) keeps that promise by removing paywalls for keynote videos.

Shogren (2022) later pushed further, asking the field to tear down systemic barriers. The free webinars can be seen as step one toward that wider inclusion.

04

Why it matters

You can watch world autism scientists on your lunch break. No fee. No travel. Share the links with parents, teachers, or students. Turn a staff meeting into a mini-conference by streaming one 20-minute keynote and discussing how the findings fit your cases.
