The Lovaas Institute for Early Intervention
The Lovaas Institute Midwest is offering intensive early intervention services with behavior therapy for children with autism. The Lovaas Institute has been the leader in the field of intensive early intervention since the early 1970’s, and is world renowned for its groundbreaking outcome study in 1987. Our aim is to further advance the effectiveness of early intervention through the best possible treatment for your child and research for all children.
The Executive Clinical Director, Dr. Eric Larsson, Ph.D., L.P., B.C.B.A., supervises the clinical program and is responsible for the training of all Lovaas staff and for all treatment delivered within the framework of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis). Dr. Larsson has over 33 years of experience in ABA and intensive early intervention, including extensive experience with the Lovaas replication system.
When we serve you, we focus on what we do best, which is proven behavior therapy. By
extensively researching this therapy through Applied Behavior Analysis, by conducting thorough regular evaluations of your child, and of our practices, our therapy is highly accountable. This quality control ensures that you are always given enough information to know where your child stands on the road to their best possible outcomes. All staff who work with your child will receive ongoing training to ensure that the most effective, individualized therapy is being given to your child. Parents and other care-providers will also receive ongoing training to ensure that all involved persons always know how best to provide behavior therapy to your child.
Behavior therapy is utilized in order to make tasks manageable and rewarding for the child. The program and goals are individualized for each child. To ensure that the child develops, generalizes, and maintains learned skills, therapy is provided by both staff and parents. The program is comprehensive and aimed at enhancing the academic, social,
and emotional behavior of young children, so that they may take advantage of opportunities available in their schools.
The Lovaas Institute currently provides Consultation Services throughout
