Summary
This evidence-based practices (EBP) brief describes pivotal response training (PRT), a naturalistic behavioral approach that builds on learner initiative and interests. The intervention focuses on the "pivotal" areas of motivation, responding to multiple cues, self-management, and self-initiations.

The National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder (NPDC) was funded by the US Department of Education until 2014. �The goal of the NPDC was to promote the use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for children and youth with ASD, birth to 22 years of age.� [Website]
