Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is one of the most widely researched, evidence-based practices for the treatment of autism.

These skills include: spontaneous, flexible and functional use of language and social skills, and self-management of behavior.
Presentation Topics include:
History and development of autism interventions, Introduction to PRT, Procedures of PRT and use of PRT to teach communication.
