Wben he speaks, it sounds lhks he is only ustng vowels and we see him sts-ggling to do even that. We have heard about something called the PROMPT method. What is t and how does it work? Answer: The PROMPT (Prompts for Rests-cting Oral Phonetic Targets> method was first descnhbed by Oeborals <Chumpelik) Hayd-n in 1980 as a visual antd tac- tile therapy techniqae for childs-en with developmental aprassa. Apraxia, simply defined. is when an indîvidoal cao ose their oral muscles for tnvoluntary move- ments such as smiling, yawnsng or lcktng their lips, but canoot co-os-dînate them dus-tnp the complex and rapid movements needed for speech. The PROMPT meihod is based on a hies-aschy tnvolving different stages of control durîng the pro- duction of speech (ie. hreath conts-ol, jaw conts-ol, longue control. etc.). The cliti- ciao "prompts" the child hy placing their bonds in a specific fashton on the child's face to help the production of a sound. Each sound has its own specific prompt. The clinician works with rhe chîld using the prompts to firsi teach syllables, then words and finally progressing to the sentence and conversational level. Tle prompts are gradually faded out when the child bas mastered the sequencing of the sounds. This technique is now widely used with childeen who have sound difficulties, even if it s nos developmensal aprania. It bas heen found that the maou4l prompts gives some children the necessas-y feedback they need suo as- the correct placement of certain sounds. For childeen with ext-eme ditficuliy producing soundo, iis tech- nique helps orgonize their physical system during the production of sounds aod gives ihean the basis to work fromn when they are atsempting new words. To deterinine whether ibis technique is approgniate for your non, it would be nse- essary for him 50 have a speech and language evaluasion firui. For more informa- tion, please contact the Centre.
