Hi All,

I am fairly new to the group and have been doing lots of reading. This

might be a very dumb question, but what is PROMPT ?

Regards,

Ambika

By far this was the easiest thing I have ever done. This therapist

and this therapy are such a good fit for my son. It did so much to

ease my anxiety about him aging out. We actually learned about some

visual deficits for my daughter that I will mention to NACD. Who knew?

some more light

(No dumb questions!)

PROMPT! is a type of speech therapy that has met success with children with

apraxia. They

use physical " cues " , like touching various parts of the face, jaw, etc. to

help children develop

the movement necessary for making particular sounds, which directly

addresses the motor

planning difficulty of speech for children with apraxia.

You can read about it more at www.promptinstitute.com, where you can also

email someone

for referrals for SLP's who are trained in Prompt working in your area.
