The Wisconsin Early Autism Project, Inc., is a programme and clinic for the treatment of children with autism based on the work of Dr. Ivar Lovaas, the pioneer of an intensive behavioral approach with proven best outcomes.

WEAP provides ongoing therapeutic treatment through its local clinics for families in Wisconsin, Vancouver, Minnesota and now Malaysia as well as training workshops with follow-up supervision for families in other parts of the United States and the world.

WEAP is officially approved by Dr. Lovaas.

The Wisconsin Early Autism Project is a Replication Site actively collaborating with Dr. Lovaas' research through the National Institute of Mental Health. Children treated by WEAP have shown success rates essentially the same as those of Dr. Lovaas. WEAP is the first programme to reach this goal!

WEAP's treatment program:
• Takes a totally positive approach
• Personalizes curriculum based on each child's needs
• Presents new material in a fun way that's easy to master
• Keeps children happy, smiling, and motivated to learn

WEAP's curriculum addresses the major deficits common in autism, including:
• Understanding language
• Communicating with and relating to peers
• Building age appropriate and symbolic play skills
• Increasing conceptual thinking and cognitive skills
