the Impact of Pivotal Response Treatment on the Development and Social Integration of Children with Autism

Abstract

Children with autism face severe difficulties in education, mental health and employment, and need the attention and support of the community to help them better integrate into society and realise their self-worth.This is why it is important to study the impact of early interventions on the development and social integration of children with autism, and PRT is more flexible and life-like than other early interventions(Koegel et al., 1999, 2013).Therefore, this paper discusses the current state of research on PRT and implementation strategies based on an understanding of children with autism.
