and Special needs service provider)
and Special needs service provider)
WELCOME
Loveland Academy established in 1999 is a privately owned Transdisciplinary Center
in Honolulu, Oahu, 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 and young
adults with autism and special needs.
"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)
Mission. As a service provider in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii for children and young
adults with autism, the 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 Philosophy. As a service provider in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii for children and
young adults with autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental disorders,
our philosophy is to "turn kids onto learning" by helping them discover, then utilize their
strengths and interest, to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to live as
productive, and enjoyable, a life as possible.
The overall goal as a service provider in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii is to integrate the
best aspects of education, with the best practices of therapeutic treatment into a
cohesive package for children autism sspectrum disorders and neurodevelopmental
disorders 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, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii,

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

"Our task... is not to fix the blame for the past, but to fix the course for the future."
(John F. Kennedy)
