Parents can be taught to use pivotal response training (PRT) to help their children who are diagnosed with autism.
Pivotal response training (PRT) is a type of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. This study was designed to test 1) whether PRT treatment works in a large setting, and 2) which children are most likely to respond to PRT. The study found that children with autism do improve when they accompany their parents to a 12 week parent education PRT program. Specifically, after receiving PRT (and it is reinforced at home) the children were better able to adapt to new things. The program worked for all children regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity.
