Beautiful! I am a psychologist and also a parent of al 4 years old child with ASD, from Puerto Rico. I am so glad to see this kind of videos from the authors. Thanks!
Loved your approach.I am an Occupational therapist too and would like you to suggest me a few ideas on how I can use PRT to improve eye contact and name call response in a 3 yr old autistic child
Sorry, though not intentional this is somewhat misleading. It is not (to specifically use that video for example) getting him to say the "word" and reinforce him accordingly, etc. Rather it is understanding what was going on with respect to down regulating his stress response, more specifically his limbic hypothalamus, pititary adrenal axis LHPA) less a defensive autonomic nervous system, adaptive fight/flight responses to allow more ventral vagus (social-emotional nervous system) for interoceptive feelings of safety to happen. To put it simply once he (or any child) comorbidities aside (e.g., specific oral motor delays) then language (which is connected by a branch of the vagus by the recurrent laryngeal nerve into the larynx and pharynx, the muscles of vocalization) are more regulated (less dedicated to All or Nothing limbic based responses) and therefore, ipso facto, communicating/speaking comes naturally online. It is NOT about reinforcement. It is about dyadic affective (emotional) regulation/co-regulation which then allows natural shift to occur (i.e., shifts in state regulation) and hence engaging, relating and social-pragmatic communicating/language comes online. Now, what has to shift is the "language" of ABA methodologies including PRT to a much more sober evidence based driven infant and childhood mental and emotional health (developmental psychology ) and neurophysiology, essentially a biopsychosocial approach.

Is there an online course you can make available? For us non-US parents that want to learn PRT?
