(Autism and Special needs)
WELCOME
Loveland Academy is a privately owned Transdisciplinary Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Loveland Academy is dedicated to excellence in teaching and the development and
implementation of clinical and therapeutic methodologies for the diagnosis and
treatment of neurodevelopment disorders in children.
"Children with learning differences are only handicapped by us - by a system which
fails to provide them with access to an appropriate education that meets their learning
needs."
(Dr. Maria Montessori)
Loveland Academy’s mission is to provide an array of state of the art, research
based, child and family centered, culturally sensitive therapeutic and educational
services targeting the biological, psychological, educational, social and emotional
needs of children.
Our Philosopy
Is to "turn kids onto learning" by helping them discover, then utilize their strenghts and
interest, to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to live as productive, and
enjoyable, a life as possible.
The overall goal of Loveland Academy is to integrate the best aspects of education,
with the best practices of therapeutic treatment into a cohesive package for children
who need 1:1 attention in the areas of intensive behavioral teaching, positive behavior
management, direct therapy to increase cognitive, social, emotional, play and
communication skills.
The program seeks to support increased global functioning through the development
of strong attention skills, strong social skills, self monitoring, self regulation and coping
strategies that allow children to move to less restrictive environments over time.
"Recent studies now suggest that if intensive behavior modification is started early
enough, before age four or five, perhaps as many as 50 percent of autistic children
may be able to improve sufficiently to attend public schools with normal peers, and to
have a reasonably bright outlook for the future."
(Dr. Bernard Rimland)
Our Location
Loveland Academy is conveniently located in the Makiki area, between the University of
Hawaii and downtown Honolulu. The campus is easily accessed by the H-1 Freeway in
both directions.
The school is housed in two buildings facing a central courtyard. Currently there are 6
classrooms in addition to rooms dedicated to Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy,
Mental Health Therapy, Art and Music. The outside play area is set up to maximize
social interaction and developmental play skills.
"Our task... is not to fix the blame for the past, but to fix the course for the future."
(John F. Kennedy)
