Koegel is PhD Director and Autism Research Center Professor of Clinical, Counseling, and School Psychology, and Professor of Special Education, Disability, and Risk Studies at the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara. |
| Abstract: The purpose of this presentation is to address issues and present data that are relevant to Pivotal Response Treatment and Positive Behavioral Support Interventions for children with autism and their families. Topics will include a discussion of the identification of specific prognostic indicators associated with highly favorable outcomes following intervention; and a discussion of procedures used to conduct interventions in key pivotal areas that can change a previously poor prognosis to a favorable prognosis. The relevance of each of these topic areas will be discussed within the context of behavioral teaching strategies in the developing trend in comprehensive interventions for children with autism. |
