Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas is a world-renowned autism expert who has devoted his career to improving the lives of children with autism and their families.
His Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis is based on 40 years of research and is backed by published studies showing half of children with autism who receive this intensive treatment become indistinguishable from other children on tests of cognitive and social skills by the time they completed first grade.
I think this book is a great resource for many educations and speech-language therapists. It provides good therapeutic strategies and sets a foundation for professionals educating children with developmental delays. I would have to point out that some areas of communication are now targeted differently via further modifications. However, overall it is a must have book!
