Autism Partnership’s directors started their work together back in the 1970s at the UCLA Young Autism Project. Under the mentoring of Dr. O. Ivar. Lovaas, a pioneer in the treatment of Autism, John McEachin, Ronald Leaf, Tracee Parker, Sanford Slater and Andrea Waks learned their profession. They were involved in all aspects of this seminal project, including development of curriculum and behavioral intervention strategies, implementing and supervising treatment, training therapists, teachers and parents, teaching classes and conducting research. While at UCLA, they contributed to seminal works including books, articles, and conference presentations.
In 1994, they formed Autism Partnership to meet the tremendous need for comprehensive services to families with children with autism. Based upon the founders’ extensive and unique experiences in providing behavioral treatment to children, adolescents and adults, we have developed a flexible treatment program that provides a variety of services. Our goal was to build on the successful foundation of our previous efforts by adapting and refining the treatment and making it more widely available.
AP is run by professional clinicians and has become a worldwide authority for autism spectrum disorder with branch offices in different countries. Autism Partnership now employs more than 300 top-notch professionals worldwide. They come from various educational disciplines and receive ongoing training from our senior U.S. psychologists.
