Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hello friends, I wanted to share this post with you as well. I've been on this list too for a very long time. Love to all, kat [ME-list] Dr. Lovaas Dear friends, I've been so honored to be on this list for over 15 years. I'm thinking that many of you have not heard this news and it is with a heavy heart I tell you... A dear mentor of mine who worked with and for Dr. Lovaas for years called me today and told me he passed away yesterday evening. In tears, she asked me to write the Me List and other lists and let you know. For our part, Dr. Lovaas and his work with the children saved our son's life. We saw a difference in our child almost immediately when we started our home program. We are profoundly and forever grateful for his vision of something better for our children, always working faithfully toward their best possible outcome. I met Dr. Lovaas once in Dallas, having the pleasure of sitting down to tea or coffee or some such. I was struck by his passion for excellence and by his passion for the children. I saw him speak so many times I lost count. He had such a high bar of expectation for our children and such compassion for us, the parents. I loved to hear him speak just to be energized by the humor, love and sincere desire to never stop working for our children. We offer our prayers and condolences to his dear family, colleagues, and friends and we too grieve this loss. love to you all, kat lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
