This just released PRT® Training Manual provides invaluable help and information to help you learn procedures to increase or teach initiations.

Initiations will help your child with autism develop nice, well-rounded social communicative interactions and are likely to help your child develop to very high levels. 

Research shows that some children even drop many or all of their symptoms and are scored as appearing in the typical range once they are using a large number of initiations. 

Using initiations results in the kind of back-and-forth communication that is soooo important for communicative, social, and academic competence.
