Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)

Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is a behavioral therapy designed primarily for children with autism. It focuses on enhancing key areas of development, such as motivation and social skills, rather than targeting specific behaviors. The approach encourages children to take the lead in interactions, promoting their engagement and learning through play and everyday activities. Parents and caregivers are actively involved, using natural opportunities to reinforce desired behaviors. PRT is flexible, allowing for individualized treatment and can be integrated into daily routines, making it a practical approach for fostering meaningful communication and social connections.
