    Soma Mukhopadhyay

    HALO Director of Education

    A native of India, Soma is a teacher and mother who

    developed her trademark Rapid Prompting™ Method

    (RPM) to instruct her son Tito who is now a published

    writer and poet, in spite of his severe autism. Soma

    and Tito have been featured on 60 Minutes II, Good

    Morning America, Scientific American, the New York

    Times, National Geographic and numerous other

    media.    Soma has instructed hundreds of students (youth to

    adult) with autism and similar disorders at schools

    and organizations across the U.S. as well as

    at her clinic which was previously in Burbank,

    and currently is located in Austin, Texas.

    She uses RPM to teach academics and

    communication by eliciting responses through

    intensive verbal, auditory, visual and/or tactile

    prompts. Her prompting is designed to keep

    students focused and successful. Soma’s approach

    presumes competence and comprehension at age

    level, and it is a very low-tech method requiring

    only paper and pencil. Student responses evolve

    from picking up answers, to pointing, to typing and

    writing which reveals students’comprehension,

    academic skills and eventually, conversation.
