UNPARALLELED SUCCESS: “RECOVERY IS NOT JUST A DREAM”
With more than 35 years as recognized experts in the treatment of Autism, our senior staff started their work together back in the 1970’s at the UCLA Young Autism Project. Under the mentoring of Autism Pioneer Dr. Ivar Lovaas, John McEachin, Ron Leaf, Mitch Taubman, Tracee Parker, Sandy Slater and Andi Waks learned their profession. What this offers you today is a scientifically proven methodology aimed at recovery.
Article to Appear in the Journal Education and Treatment of Children Provides Empirical Support that ABA is a Highly Effective Treatment Method and Recovery is Not Just a Dream!
Autism Partnership's Research Department is proud to announce the publication of their latest study, which provides empirical evidence that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a highly effective treatment option for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The data shows that 45 out of 64 children in the preliminary analysis made such remarkable progress that they obtained IQs within the normal range and successfully completed grade level work in regular education settings
We are eager to share the facts so parents and professionals can make the most of the treatment time, funding resources and personal energy they devote to children, adolescents and adults in their care. The complete text of the study will be available after publication in Education and Treatment of Children in May 2011. In the meantime we can offer a preview of this important information:
