In Memoriam
“If a child cannot learn in the way we teach, then we must teach in the way the child can learn.”
“I would like to be remembered in the tradition of other empiricists and educators who put a good deal of faith in the power of the environment to shape human behavior. I’d like to be remembered as one who worked to free those whose minds enslaved them…and as a person who challenged the notion that variables that we used to consider to be stable and unchanging, like IQ and autism, aren’t really as unchanging as many had thought them to be.”
Ivar Lovaas (1927-2010)
