P.R.O.M.P.T. THERAPY

PROMPT stands for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets.
Our PROMPT-trained speech-language pathologists help to manually guide articulators (jaw, face and mouth) to show the child how a speech sound, sounds in words or words in sentences are produced. The clinician uses his/her hands to cue and stimulate articulatory movement, and at the same time helps the child eliminate any unnecessary movements.
PROMPT addresses cognitive, social, pragmatic, behavioral, sensory-motor and physical domains, using the child's strengths to maximize his/her potential for communication.
