Rapid Prompt Method (RPM)

[Guest guest]

Sharing another one of my many trial or what has been going on updates

on Master , this month.

underwent this session this past Tuesday and Wed..

Soma is just amazing.

I have been wanting to try this when I heard one of the speakers in

May 2007 out at the Autism One conference, since then was curious.

Well, then one of my friends contacted me if I could assist her with

the driving out towards Austin for those who do not know I live out

here in SA, TX, so Austin is not that far. As she was interested on

this program for her daughter. I of course told her " yes " , so such a

motivation towards this trial push to pursue this avenue.

Well, I ended up receiving a last minute call this Monday of a

cancellation they had and Soma would be willing to work with ,

so of course thankfully I had the funds for it, went ahead and said

" yes " .

Then I was having some second thoughts, could there be a possibility

of another type of therapy that might benefit from?

Well, I am just shocked observing what I did, which I could post some

of the video which I was given of Soma working with him but not

computer savvy here.

understands alot which I already knew, his receptive skills are

incredible but unable to make any expressive ways means of communicating.

For the short time past 2 days, Soma was actually able to find some

different method of getting to communicate responding to her

questions, not vocally, pointing towards two pieces of paper she had

written some words and spelling it out.

He did not care for the letterboard but he was cooperative even during

some of his moments acting out but he still chose the correct answers.

Speak about being trapped inside and unable to express it.

Since being home, I have extended both my hands out one with a " yes "

the other with a " no " , whenever I ask him a question, he will point

towards my hands, responds to it correctly.

It is figuring out how his brain works.

Just wanted to share this.
