Program/Service Description:
The Wisconsin Early Autism Project, Inc., is a program and clinic for the treatment of children with autism based on the work of Dr. Ivar Lovaas, the recognized authority in the treatment of autism. The only autism treatment with the best outcome supported by controlled studies and post treatment follow-up data is the intensive behavioral treatment pioneered by Dr. Ivar Lovaas at UCLA thirty years ago. The Treatment program: • is totally positive • is individualized and based on the needs of each child • presents material in a fun way that is easy to master • keeps children happy, smiling, and motivated to learn • gets proven results (click here for more information about WEAP research) The curriculum addresses the major deficits common in autism: • understanding language • communicating with and relating to peers • building age appropriate and symbolic play skills • increasing conceptual thinking and cognitive skills WEAP-trained therapists work one-on-one with each child closely monitoring emotional responses in order to match the difficulty of the material and method of instruction to the child's ability level and rate of learning. All families must apply for services by contacting our Intake Department.
