Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is often preferred over Discrete Trial Training (DTT) for autism intervention due to its emphasis on naturalistic teaching methods. Unlike the structured and repetitive nature of DTT, PRT targets pivotal areas like motivation and social initiations, promoting more generalized improvements in communication and behavior. PRT’s child-centered approach, incorporating interests and positive reinforcement, enhances engagement and promotes meaningful learning experiences. Its flexibility and focus on pivotal skills make it a preferred choice for many families and professionals in the autism community.
