PIVOTOL RESPONSE THERAPY DEFINED
Pivotol response therapy is also known as PRT, pivotal response training or pivotal response treatment. It is used as a treatment for autistic patients by helping them with intervention into their behavior issues. The therapy is primarily focused around two types of behavioral skills, including multi-cue response and general motivation. It is believed by the medical professionals who treat autism that by developing these important skills that the all round behavior of patients can improve dramatically in some cases and less in others. However, each patient responds differently to the therapy and no one case is the same, thus it is a possible behavioral solution versus a guaranteed one.
