Lovaas
Lovaas refers to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy developed by Dr. Ole Ivar Lovaas, primarily for children with autism. It uses structured, evidence-based techniques to teach new skills and reduce problematic behaviors through repeated, positive reinforcement. The approach involves breaking tasks into small steps, providing immediate feedback, and frequently rewarding progress to encourage learning. Over time, these methods aim to improve communication, social, and daily living skills, helping children with autism to develop more functional independence and enhance quality of life.
