I hear that a lot of SLP's have done some, but not all, of the PROMPT

training. This makes it hard to find them, because if they haven't

done the whole thing, PROMPT won't refer you to them. (Not sure if

that is actually true. An SLP told me that, but I never pursued

this.) 's school SLP (Sheree Rosser, sometimes takes private

clients) when he was 3 had done at least one level of training, but

she didn't use any of it on him as he had progressed beyond that by

that point. Additionally, I think there is at least one SLP at

Children's Specialized Hospital Outpatient Center in Hamilton that

has done some PROMPT training. Also, Princeton Speech Language and

Listening must have someone, as they are very highly thought of

around here.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but hope that helps.

There are indeed 3 levels to PROMPT training. The first being most

important as it teaches the actual cues and fundamental theory. The

second teaches more " advanced " PROMPTS and evaluation/goal writing.

The third is basically a self study with a mentor to enable you to

become a " master " and gives you the authorization to " teach " PROMPT

to other therapists. Most PROMPT trained therapists I know are level

1 or 2 trained. Either level (1,2) is adequate for treating clients.
