MILLER METHOD

The Miller Method, developed over 30 years by Arnold and Eileen Miller at the Language and Cognitive Development Center of Boston, is an effective new way of treating autistic and PDD children. Treatment strategies include using elevated board structures, sign language, interruption of and expansion of autistic rituals into meaningful activity and communication... Together, the Millers founded the internationally respected Language and Cognitive Development Center (LCDC) in Boston, in 1965. From then to the present - with the help of research and demonstration grants from the U.S. Department of Education - the Millers have introduced a range of innovative strategies for helping developmentally challenged children achieve their fullest potential... Since Eileen Miller's death (see obituary under What's New) Arnold Miller - with the assistance of senior LCDC staff - carries on the mission of the Center using strategies described below.
