Topic: Celebration of Life for Dr. Ivar Lovaas
Guest Speakers:
• Dr. Glen Davies, Director of ABLE Developmental Clinic
• Dr. Sabrina Freeman, Parent and Founding Director of FEAT-BC [Families for Early Autism Treatment of BC]
• Jean Lewis, Parent and Founding Director of FEAT-BC [Families for Early Autism Treatment of BC]
Lovaas, a distinguished professor of psychology at UCLA, a pioneer in the research and development of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to treat children with autism, and the founder of the Lovaas Institute, died on August 2nd at age 83.
Parents and professionals in BC will gather on this special evening to pay tribute to Dr Lovaas. Come learn about the history of Lovaas and ABA as a treatment for autism.
Hear from the parents who founded FEAT of BC, brought ABA treatment into this province and continue to fight for universal access to science based treatment for all individuals who need it. Thanks to litigation by parents in the past we are able to access funding for autism services today.
Share your own story about what Lovaas and ABA has done for you and your family.
