Ivar Lovaas, 1927-2010
O. Ivar Lovaas, the clinical researcher responsible for the development of teaching procedures that are at the base of nearly all effective therapies for children with autism, passed away 2 August 2010. Professor Lovaas, who was born in Norway in 1927, was among a pioneering group of scholars who studied the use of principles based on behavioral psychology in treating deviant child behavior. Along with others, some of whom he numbered as co-authors (e.g., Donald M. Baer, Sidney W. Bijou), he can rightfully be considered a founder of applied behavior analysis.
