Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)® For Autism
wikipedia.com:
"Pivotal response therapy (PRT), also referred to as pivotal response treatment or pivotal response training, is a behavioral intervention therapy for autism. Pivotal response therapy advocates contend that behavior hinges on "pivotal" behavioral skills—motivation and the ability to respond to multiple cues—and that development of these skills will result in collateral behavioral improvements. In 2005, Richard Simpson of the University of Kansas identified Pivotal Response Treatment as one of the four scientifically based treatments for autism."
"Drs. Lynn and Robert Koegel incorporated ideas from the natural language procedures to develop verbal communication in children with autism."
