Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)® For Autism
Welcome to the official website for Pivotal Response Treatment®, or PRT®. Pivotal Response Treatment® was developed by Dr. Robert L. Koegel and Dr. Lynn Kern Koegel at The Koegel Autism Research & Training Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Of the many treatment programs for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Pivotal Response Treatment® is one of the few that is both comprehensive (as listed by the National Research Council; of the National Academy of Sciences) and empirically supported (as recognized by the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders and the National Standards Project).
Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)®, also referred to as Pivotal Response Therapy, Pivotal Response Training®, Pivotal Response Teaching® or Pivotal Response Intervention is a behavioral intervention model based on the principles of ABA. PRT® was previously called the Natural Language Paradigm (NLP), which has been in development since the 1970s.
