Koegel, Ph.D., with invited contributors
“Updated to include new research, goals, case studies, and a plethora of practical strategies
… a fantastic guide.”—Teresa Cardon, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCBA-D, Utah Valley University One of the most respected and widely used autism interventions, Pivotal Response Treatment uses natural learning opportunities to modify key behaviors in children—leading to widespread positive effects on communication, behavior, and social skills. Now the pioneering experts behind PRT have created a comprehensive modern guide to this research-based approach, reworked and revised for today’s therapists, educators, and parents. WHAT’S NEW: You’ll get new and completely reworked chapters on working with infants and toddlers, linking strengths-based assessment to treatment planning, improving adolescents’ communication and social skills, teaching parents how to implement PRT, combining functional behavioral assessment and self-management strategies, and helping young adults succeed in college and the workplace. And the book is now organized by developmental stage, so you can help children from the cradle to college—and beyond! PRACTICAL MATERIALS: Each chapter features learning goals, key insights to remember, and helpful study questions (also available online to download and print).
