PROMPT

PROMPT, an acronym for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets, is a multidimensional approach to speech production disorders that has come to embrace not only the well-known physical-sensory aspects of motor performance, but also its cognitive-linguistic and social-emotional aspects.

PROMPT is about integrating all domains and systems towards positive communication outcome. It may be used (with varying intensity and focus) with all speech production disorders from approximately 6 months of age onward. To achieve the best outcome with PROMPT, it should not be thought of or used mainly to facilitate oral-motor skills, produce individual sounds/phonemes, or as an articulation program, but rather as a program to develop motor skills in the development of language for interaction.

At LI Speech all of our Speech therapist’s are trained to perform PROMPT therapy and use PROMPT to facilitate success with addressing the needs of our patients across multiple treatment approaches and demographics.
