Austin Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Neurological, lifelong developmental disorder
• characterized by social deficits and repetitive patterns of behavior
• impacts ability to function properly in school, work, and other areas of life
Why is Autism a spectrum disorder ?
• no 2 individuals with ASD are the same
• skills may be splintered across domains
• different areas may be impacted to varying degrees
• some may have more challenging behaviors than others
Deficits of ASD

• no desire to be around others
• eye contact
, Excesses of ASD

something is spoken then copied
Mand
asking for things that they want (i.e. you hungry so..."Can I have food")

visual schedules
tools we can use to help individuals follow. routine, transition between activities, develop new skills,

Pivotal response treatment (PRT)
play based, child initiated treatment for individuals with ASD
Who developed PRT?
The koegels from research in 1970s and 1980s
In contrast to DTT & NET, PRT targets _______ rather than specific, discrete behaviors
general skill areas seen as pivotal for learning
what are the goals of PRT
