Pivotal Response Training

Pivotal Response Training (PRT) is a behavioral therapy used primarily for children with autism. It focuses on enhancing key areas of development, such as communication, social skills, and behavior, by encouraging spontaneous responses to naturally occurring situations. Instead of structured teaching, PRT uses play and everyday interactions, allowing children to learn through choices and rewards. It empowers them by targeting pivotal skills, which can lead to meaningful improvements in their overall functioning and engagement with others. By fostering motivation and responsiveness, PRT aims to make learning more enjoyable and effective for the child.
