This just released PRT® Training Manual covers the heart of PRT - treating motivation.  It truly embodies what PRT is all about and why it is so effective.  The manual also provides invaluable help and information so you can learn how to use motivation as a Pivotal Response with children with autism.

Using motivation - and specifically using child choice, or "following the child's lead" - during intervention sessions can make a huge difference in their results and their behavior.   The goals being set for the child don't change at all, but how you achieve those goals changes based on what the child is motivated by.

When a child is not motivated, they simply stop trying.  It is important to incorporate motivational procedures into any and all activities.  This new manual will help you learn how to do just that, and how to do it effectively.  
"Pivotal Response Treatment®:  Using Motivation as a Pivotal Response", is available to purchase for $9.95 + $2.50 shipping and handling.  To purchase your copy now, click on the "Shop Now" imge to the right to be taken to the store page.
