What is PROMPT Therapy?


PROMPT is a short form for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets. This method is a tactile-kinesthetic approach that makes use of touch prompts to a patient’s articulating organs like jaw, tongue, lips to physically direct them to a targeted word, phrase, or sentence. This PROMPT speech therapy method increases motor control and the growth of appropriate oral muscular movements, at the same time as removing redundant muscle movements, like jawbone sliding and insufficient lip rounding. Counselors start with helping patients pronounce certain phonemes. The therapist tries to train the patient’s muscles to pronounce a phoneme properly by motivating all of these by the use of touch.



What are the Benefits?


PROMPT therapy is suitable for an extensive variety of patients having communication disorders. A good number of patients have articulation problems, motor speech disorders, or are non-verbal children. A lot of patients with aphasia, apraxia/dyspraxia, dysarthria, invasive growth disorders, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries, and autism spectrum disorders have benefitted from PROMPT speech therapy.
