Why Use PRT?

The potential advantages of using PRT over more traditional models include:
-
increased generalization of acquired skills
-
increased spontaneity and independence
-
efficiency through collateral effects and “around-the-clock” implementation
-
child- and family-friendly techniques that can be feasibly implemented
-
improved engagement, behavior, and child affect during intervention
-
improved parent affect and decreased parent stress
