Abstract	This study's objective was to assess maintenance of treatment effects 3 months after completion of a 12-week Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) parent education group. Families who completed the active treatment (N = 23) were followed for an additional 12 weeks to measure changes in language and cognitive skills. Results indicated a significant improvement in frequency of functional utterances, with maintenance at 3-month follow-up [F(2, 21): 5.9, p = 0.009]. Children also made significant gains on the Vineland Communication Domain Standard Score [F(2, 12):11.74, p = 0.001] and the Mullen Scales of Early Learning Composite score [F(1, 20) = 5.43, p = 0.03]. These results suggest that a brief PRT parent group intervention can lead to improvements in language and cognitive functioning that are maintained 12 weeks post treatment. (As Provided).
