WWW finds minimal benefits from Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis

Only two studies met WWW evidence standards fully or with qualifications. They summarize their findings:
"Based on these two studies, the WWC considers the extent of evidence for the Lovaas Model for children with disabilities to be small for cognitive development, communication/language competencies, social-emotional development and behavior, and functional abilities. No studies that meet WWC evidence standards with or without reservations examined the effectiveness of the Lovaas Model on children with disabilities in the literacy, math competencies, or physical well-being domains."
