“There is definitely a lot of family involvement with PRT. PRT becomes more of a lifestyle than just a form of treatment and is versatile enough to use at home, in clinical settings, in an inclusive classroom, and in the community. It works best if everyone involved in the child's life is "on board" with PRT, consistency with treatment is the key to seeing results in the child’s behavior. Parents often have to unlearn a lot of what they have been doing to help their child. A mother's natural instinct is to give her child what he wants so he stops throwing tantrums or listens, but with PRT, success involves patience and having the ability to let go of appeasing the child as well as sticking to consistently using PRT methods in every part of the child's life. As soon as this happens, changes occur and the parents will begin to see results that become more and more frequent as more behaviors become modified. Parents can easily start implementing PRT strategies into the child’s established routine right away. Since PRT is a lifestyle that families practice every day and not a treatment administered only in a therapist’s office, families will start seeing positive results in a very short amount of time.” Dr. Robert Koegel
