PROMPT Therapy for Speech & Voice Disorders

January 2, 2019June 19, 2020 speechinthecity Leave a comment
PROMPT: Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Target

PROMPT is a hands-on technique which a requires a speech pathologist attend specialized trainings in order to understand and receive certification through the PROMPT Institute. It is taught worldwide in many languages and, but with one methodology. The technique is a “tactile-kinesthetic approach”, meaning that the therapist provides cues on the lips, cheeks, jaws to help the speaker approximate the proper position to elicit sounds in the correct position.

I have used PROMPT therapy to treat speech sound disorders, voice disorders, apraxia and fluency disorders. There is a set hierarchy and a step by step process that is tailored for each client. Each person who receives PROMPT therapy should receive an individualized assessment, which guides the family and caregivers on the plan of action for therapy.

Other Ways PROMPT is used:

  • Used to promote air support for children who are working to produce enough air to support early speech sounds
  • Used for children who have a general articulation error like an /r/ sound
  • PROMPT has been shown to help verbal language for children with no verbal speech at all

PROMPT therapy can be used with many types of communication disorders. It works for some, but not all. Only a trained PROMPT speech-language pathologist can do an assessment, to see if PROMPT is best for your child or family member.

You can search for your local PROMPT trained therapists here.
