The Lovaas Institute provides treatment services nationwide and has contacts around the world as well. They have clinics:
• throughout the U.S.
Their website is very valuable for the new parent who cannot find treatment providers nearby.
The Wisconsin Early Autism Project clinic utilizes the techniques pioneered by Lovaas; however, they are independent from the LIFE organization. They have branched out from their original clinic in Wisconsin and are now in several different countries including Malaysia & Canada.
The Autism Partnership clinic was founded by two researchers who were trained by Dr. Lovaas and participated in the ground breaking research conducted at U.C.L.A. in the 1980’s. This clinic has offices in the U.S., Canada, England, Australia and Hong Kong and Singapore.
