Profession Psychologist
Ole Ivar Løvaas PhD was a Norwegian-American clinical psychologist at UCLA.

In 1999, the U.S. Office of the Surgeon General described Lovaas's techniques as having been shown to be efficacious at "reducing inappropriate behavior and in increasing communication, learning, and appropriate social behavior" which is based on thirty years of data.
