Ivy,

At what age did your son regress? How many words did he have previously? Were

they whole words or word approximations? Is anything medical going on with your

son?

There are 3 levels of PROMPT training: level 1, level 2, & level 3, which is

certified. Just because an SLP is not level 3 certified doesn't mean that he/she

isn't good. At times there are not mentors available for the certification

process.

Also, as in my practice, multiple complimentary therapy techniques should be

used--PROMPT, Talk Tools, Beckman stretches, etc. so that the child can make

maximum progress.

So my recommendation would be to continue PROMPT & TT/Beckman/Kaufman as well.

Warmest wishes,

Barbara , M.S., CCC-SLP

Wedyana,

You can try therapistratingz.com. It will at least give you names and phone

numbers of slp's in your area. Hopefully there will be some rated therapists in

your area.

Best wishes!

Evan- PROMPT is a physical cueing type of speech therapy that is appropriate for

many children with verbal apraxia. Here are two links explaining it more:

Barbara- thank you for your post!

My son had many many more pop-out words and approximations 2yrs ago and much

less last year..he has had speech since he was 21 months old average 5x a week

until now- he is 3.5yrs old. We still don't have many sounds, nor spontaneous

words besides buh buh, sometimes a good bye bye. We used to have juice, up,

down, mo(re), help..in his daily words..now we cannot get that out of him

He has no medical conditions. We have tried many many biomed interventions, had

genetic testing, he has been on fish oils since birth really, and recently we

tried NV for two months at two scoops a day without ANY difference. We are

taking a break from it and trying perhaps again later.

He is a typical child with severe verbal apraxia and various global apraxia and

some sensory issues,(we see an OT.)

Why he hasn't made progress is a HUGE MYSTERY!!!

Any other suggestions would be wonderful.

We are working with an SLP who knows Beckman, Kaufman and is PROMPT level II..so

thank you for saying well rounded is good!

So the well-rounded is better than JUST solely doing PROMPT, correct? Is this my

understanding?

Since our current OT is doing so much I thought focusing on only PROMPT during a

session would be helpful- I don't know if it will be!!

I was considering adding a PROMPT only session also during the week with a

PROMPT cert SLP. She is also great with oral motor/feeding, that way I can rule

out any issues there.

Any issues, suggestions would be great.

thank you, Ivy

Barbara- I live in northern NJ, an area where we have quite a selection a great

SLPs. I think I have talked with and given everyone of them a trial..lol! One

even does hippotnerapy and we did that for a while.

I am fortunate I don't have to drive hours to get to an SLP as some parents do.

I would also think my son would have had some progress.
