message: "Lovaas is a form of treatment guided by applied behavior analysis..."
"Lovaas was developed by O. Ivar Lovaas based on research performed by Lovaas and his assistants."
Are these recently made changes correct?  I've never seen a research article in a journal refer to the Lovaas approach as simply "Lovaas".  It's usually called the "Lovaas method," "Lovaas therapy," "Lovaas approach," or "EIBI".  NighthawkJ (talk) 03:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recent reliable reviews 

message: I see the article mentions IQ testing of children who were treated with the Lovaas technique. I have posted a bibliography of   Intelligence Citations for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in those issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research and to suggest new sources to me by comments on that page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 23:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing 

message: The article says, "As many as 25% of individuals with autism have no functional speech, the remainder typically display pronounced phonological and grammatical deficits in addition to a limited vocabulary.[6]" This seems very unlikely to be accurate from the current perspective that "autism" includes "Asperger's syndrome" and "high-functioning autism."

message: The link to EIBI in the Cost section should probably be removed because the similar existing EIBI page name is just a redirect to this article. Apologies for not knowing enough wiki jargon to say that more clearly. ;-)  Claudia (talk) 15:37, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Should this article content be merged to Ivar Lovaas where (per WP:NOPAGE) it might make more sense. Alexbrn (talk) 07:03, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Straw poll - merge? 

message: I think it might be worth adding in the article that sometimes Errorless Learning/DTT had also incorporated oral motor imitation/tactile prompts for the speech (as Lovaas did; and there is considerable overlap between DTT and speech therapy). Over the years, we find those prompts usually have no effect and are only beneficial if the child is attempting to speak but struggles with phonetics. Speech therapists always had and stills trains behavior analysts how to use them, yet none of the newer training manuals, like Mark Sundberg's Verbal Behavior, provide assessments for it anymore, and there have been no behavior analytic studies on it either.

replies: text: That was also my assesment of the issue as it came up in the sources I read. Can you think of any more uses for DDT? --Wikiman2718 (talk) 00:13, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Rapid Motor Imitation/Antecedent (RMIA) is a form of DTT for autism that was first coined in the research literature by speech therapists which consists of fine and gross motor imitation mass trials followed by echoic (vocal imitation) training. It's the same thing as Lovaas therapy (just branded differently). In a randomized control trial published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disabillities in 2013 , 3 out of the 5 children acquired speech using the approach. ATC .

replies: text:  Well, OK. That trial is way too small, but if they're actually conducting such studies it could possibly be worth talking about. It would be nice if we could get a reliable result, though. --Wikiman2718 (talk) 00:36, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I read online a few years ago before Tristram Smith died that he was raising grants with the Kennedy Krieger Institute to reproduce Lovaas therapy using rather large sample sizes. Don’t know the status on it considering he isn’t alive anymore but I’m sure it’s still in the process. The insurance caused a lot of other varying problems in each state so that could affect the status as well (i.e., inadequate training and licensing requirements, long waiting lists, not covering the full 40 hours for the kids who need it, NY limiting the field only to autism, etc.) ATC . Talk 00:56, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Exactly how large is this sample size? Past studies have been ~20 people in the treatment group, which is just not enough to get good result. If the planned study was quite large it could be worth mentioning, but only if was quite large. And preferably if it was conducted by an independent organization. --Wikiman2718 (talk) 01:49, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
