The definition of PRT
• A comprehensive service delivery model that uses both a developmental approach and applied behavioral analysis (ABA) procedures (Koegel, 2006).
![Page 3: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definition of ABA
• ABA is the science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement of behavior.
(Cooper, 2007)

The goals of PRT: • Teach learners to respond to the many learning
opportunities and social interactions that occur in the natural environment;
• Decrease learners' needs for constant supervision and interaction with adults;
• Promote family involvement and improve the quality of life for all family members;
• Decrease the number of services delivered in separate settings that remove learners from the natural environment;

The goals of PRT Cont’d:
• Improve learners' academic performance, communication and language skills;
• Foster learners' social interactions and friendships with typically developing peers;
• Reduce learners' interfering behaviors (e.g., disruptive, repetitive, stereotypical);
• Move learners toward a typical developmental trajectory by teaching a diverse number of behaviors; and
• Broaden learners' interests.

Historical Connection with ABA
• Distinguishing from DTT (Discrete Trial Teaching)
• Basic principles of ABA used to teach receptive, expressive language, play, self-help, and social skills– Reinforcement/punishment– Shaping
![Page 9: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PRT and modern ABA Principles
• PRT is using ABA strategies to increase generalization and rapid, widespread effects using these fundamental teaching tools:– Reinforcement (PBIS)– Antecedent control– Prompting with strategic plans to fade– Shaping – Chaining

Potential Goals for Motivation
1. When motivation is present, student will spontaneously mand (request) 20 missing items verbally, with sign, with PECS, or with SGD in at least 80% of measured opportunities across 3 different people and 2 different settings.
2. When motivation is present, student will mand (request) with 10 different adjectives, prepositions, or 2+ word utterances to gain access or protest in at least 80% of measured opportunities across 3 different people and 2 different settings.
![Page 16: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pivotal Area 2: Responsivity to Multiple Cues
• Global goal – decreasing overselectivity by distinguishing multiple relevant features of environmental stimuli.
• Provide wide range of cues in learning environment.
• Implication for language acquisition and social behaviors
![Page 17: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Examples
Multiple cues with preschool
![Page 18: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Potential Goals for Multiple Cues
1. When in the natural environment or when shown a book, student will identify and label items based on 3 verbal components (adjectives, quantity, pronouns) with at least 80% accuracy across 3 different people and 2 different settings.
2. While engaged in the daily classroom routine (lunch, art class, recess), student will follow directions that include information about feature, function, and/or class with 80% accuracy across 3 different people and 2 different settings.
![Page 19: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pivotal Area 3: Self-ManagementDefinition – PBIS strategy used to reduce problem behaviors while teaching
functionally equivalent replacement behaviors or to improve behavior deficits through increasing appropriate positive behaviors.
Global Goal – teaching children to be aware of their behaviors and to increase ability to self-monitor, modify, and reinforce their own behaviors.
![Page 20: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Self- Management Procedures1. Operationally define and measure the target behavior2. Set goals and identify reinforcers3. Develop self-management method-device4. Teach the child to use the self-management system5. Fade the structured device.
Increases – on task behavior, social conversation behaviors, flexibility
Decreases – disruptive behavior, self-stimulatory behavior
![Page 21: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Examples
• Token rewards for positive behavior
• Tally’s for not interrupting
• Positive behavior management initial stages.

Implementing with Student
1) Present the plan2) Provide definition of flexibility3) Provide explicit instructions on how to obtain points4) Model how to earn points5) Provide self-management tools(stickers, markers, point
sheet)6) Play the activity7) Prime the child8) Present flexibility opportunities9) Child gives self point10) Immediately reinforce the child
![Page 23: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Troubleshooting
• Remind the child of the reinforcer• Make sure reinforcer is powerful enough• Make sure you’re starting with least
demanding task• PBIS
![Page 24: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Potential Goals for Self-Management
1. When auditory prompt is sounded, student will accurately provide himself appropriate reinforcement for safe hands at the end of the time interval in at least 90% of measured opportunities across 3 different settings.
2. Using video review, student will independently label non-verbal cues relating the attention/interest of communication partner using self-management worksheet with 90% accuracy 3 videos per day for 4 weeks.
![Page 25: PRT: The Marriage of ABA and Speech-Language Pathology Amy Fetter, MA, CCC-SLP Karen Duerk, MA, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologists The Joshua School](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d1b5503460f949f074e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pivotal Area 4: Initiation• Question posed – What were the contributing
factors to having a good prognosis with ASD??• Initiating with questions– What’s that? Where is it?– Whose is it? What’s happening?
• During groups strategically place materials/students

Potential Goals for Initiation
1. When motivation is present, student will initiate a physical interaction with a peer 2 times in a 15 minute time sample across 2 different settings.
2. When interested in a peer’s toy or item, student will initiate verbally by asking “Can I play?” or a variation of such in at least 4 out of 5 measured opportunities across 3 different settings.
