Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Pivotal Response Training (PRT)	The behaviorally-based intervention is a treatment model that uses the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (Koegel, Openden, Fredeen, \& Koegel, 2006) to increase children's adaptive behaviors and decrease maladaptive behaviors.
BEHAVIORAL	PACE Therapy	The developmentally based intervention is grounded in a development theory, that focuses on child-directed interactions with warm and caring individuals that aid in acquiring missed developmental and functional milestones.
BEHAVIORAL	PACE and PRT Hybrid	The hybrid based treatment has an eclectic approach that incorporates both systematic (behaviorally-based) and affect-based learning (developmentally-based)that focuses on increasing children's skill development (http://www.pacificautism.org).
