Level II Certificate: Introductory Implementer of Pivotal Response Treatment® Procedures
Individuals seeking Level II Certification must have completed Level I Certification. Level II training introduces participants to introductory PRT® motivational procedures for teaching communication. Level II Certification certifies that participants have met fidelity of implementation criteria for PRT® with 1 child with ASD.
Level III Certificate: Generalization of Pivotal Response Treatment® Procedures
