Pivotal Response Treatment

Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is an evidence-based therapy rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that targets key "pivotal" areas of development, such as motivation, self-management, and social interactions, rather than focusing solely on specific behaviors. By addressing these areas, PRT aims to produce widespread improvements across various skills.

Delivered in a naturalistic setting, PRT uses child-led activities and reinforces attempts to encourage learning. Research supports its effectiveness in enhancing communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors, making it a flexible and family-friendly approach.
