Rather than the repetitive, drill-type exercises characteristic of the long-favored applied behavior analysis, pivotal response treatment is an approach that integrates motivational elements into interventions to achieve greater engagement and higher learner affect and more rapid gains with lasting outcomes. Using numerous case examples, this book details practical therapeutic steps for supporting patients.
