If you are wanting to learn more about LIMA this 2 part series from the 2021 APDT conference has what you are looking for!
What is LIMA and how do we assess if training is “really” LIMA?
Part 1: During this hour-long presentation, we will examine why and how different approaches to teaching new and replacement behaviors adhere to the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) ethical standard. This will be a critical examination of what choice is and isn’t; what is aversive; and how to assess if something is, or is not, aversive to an individual animal.
LIMA-Based Case Studies: What
is least and minimally, anyway?
Part 2: Using a case study approach, we will examine behavior
modification practices using the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA)
ethical standard. During this session, we will critically examine the
considerations for how LIMA was applied to each behavior plan and
execution. We will also emphasize how to assess what is “intrusive” and
what is “aversive” for each specific animal.
