Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I just wanted to share information regarding the speech therapy technique that was mandated for our child from the time he was about 3 years old. In Early Intervention and then in CPSE, he was receiving 5 hours of speech per week, 3 hours of that was to include the PROMPT technique. PROMPT is an interesting technique where the speech therapist physically touches and moves the facial muscles and mouth into position to make specific sounds and then words. Slowly the child learns how to position those muscles by himself. I truly believe that this helped train Max to annunciate. A speech therapist must be certified in this technique. Here is the web site for the Prompt Institute. _http://www.promptinstitute.com/index.html_ (http://www.promptinstitute.com/index.html) Hope this might be helpful. I do know some good therapists in NYC. Helene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
