We offer on-site professional development workshops for groups who are interested in PRT®. Our workshops consist of lecture-style trainings with video models to demonstrate the application of each PRT procedure. Case vignettes, a question-and-answer period, opportunities for practice, and other interactive exercises are incorporated.
Each training provides a strong conceptual foundation for PRT research and methodology. Trainings can also be tailored to meet the specific needs of your agency or school. Typical content areas include:
-
Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder
-
History and Development of PRT
-
PRT service delivery model
-
Delineation of pivotal areas and corresponding interventions
-
Motivational procedures for teaching social communication
-
Facilitating social interactions with typically-developing peers
-
Self-management
-
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
-
Motivational academics
Attendees will have the opportunity to become PRT-certified at Levels I-V. For more information on incorporating PRT certification into an on-site professional training workshop, please contact Lizzie Ponder, M.A., BCBA at lizzie@koegelautism.com. BCBA CEUs are also available!
