The Lovaas Approach
The Lovaas Institute provides behavioral treatment utilizing the principles of applied behavior analysis. The Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis has undergone rigorous research at UCLA under the direction of Dr. Lovaas, proving its effectiveness in treating children with autism. While using the scientific innovations of the past, we continue to improve and evolve our teaching strategies and methods to best serve the needs of both children and families served now, and in the future.
The Lovaas Model is best described as a highly individualized teaching strategy with an emphasis on the utilization and development of positive reinforcement strategies. Our objective is not just to motivate each child to learn to the best of their ability, but also to develop the skills necessary to enjoy the interaction and play with other children. To achieve this, we rely on a highly collaborative team approach, including our behavioral technicians, supervisors, and most importantly, with the families of the children served.

Who is it most suitable for?
The Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis is a behavioral treatment model typically started with children between the ages of two and eight. Children typically transition to different services as they progress through elementary school and no later than the age of twelve. While treatment is always based on the principles of applied behavior analysis, its implementation varies based on a child’s unique needs.

Potential Benefits of Intensive Behavioral Intervention
With early intervention, a sizable minority of children diagnosed with autism, pervasive developmental disorders and related developmental disorders have been able to achieve normal educational and intellectual functioning by 7 years of age. These children have been mainstreamed into regular classrooms and have advanced successfully through the school system without additional assistance.
