My son started Lovaas ABA early intervention when he was diagnosed at 2 years of age. He was completely non-verbal, little eye contact, no imitation skills etc. I cannot express how thrilled we are with the great progress he has made in the 2 years of attending Augusta Levy Learning Center with the collaboration of Lovaas consultant. He is able to request his needs and is talking more and more each day. His eye contact is fantastic and he is learning and retaining many skills very quickly. He also receives speech and occupational therapy. I've seen the minimal results from what the schools offer and from the year Jacob was in Birth to Three. When we first started at ALLC, I was worried about whether I was going the right route, but now, I now that I did. I cannot say enough nice things about our consultant and therapists at ALLC, who make themselves available 24-7. Another thing, they had my son potty trained within a month at the age of 3. If anyone asks my opinion of the Lovaas early intervention, I would tell them that from my experience it was the best decision I could have made for my son. He is a totally different child, which was apparent even after only a month on the programs. I highly recommend Lovaas!!!!!
