Common skill areas targeted include behavioral regulation, communication skills, social skills, self-help skills, self-management skills, and play skills. Each in-home behavior session is a fun and motivating time of “play with a purpose” as we use toys, games, and activities to teach essential skill areas.

What is PRT?

Pivotal response training is a research based intervention model based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). It was developed by Robert L. Koegel and Lynn Kern Koegel at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in conjunction with Laura Schreibman at the University of California, San Diego. PRT targets “pivotal” areas such as motivation, responsiveness to multiple cues, self-regulation, and social initiation. By targeting these areas, widespread positive effects are observed on many other behaviors associated with social interaction, language, and play.
