Prompt Trained

Prompt Trained is a special way to help kids with speech problems. It is great for kids who have trouble moving their mouths to make the right sounds. This method uses gentle touch to guide the mouth into the correct shapes to produce specific sounds.

Benefits

Prompt Trained has many good points. It focuses on helping kids move their mouths from one position to another to make the right sounds. This makes therapy sessions more helpful because kids can practice sounds within words.

Use Cases

Prompt Trained is really helpful for kids who need extra help moving their mouths to make tricky sounds. For example, a child might keep their mouth open at rest or stretch their lips too wide to say a ''ch'' sound. A speech therapist trained in Prompt can guide the child''s mouth into a good starting position and work on sounds that might be tough for them.

Prompt Trained therapists start with a complete speech check, a mouth exam, and notes from the parent or caregiver. They work with the parent or caregiver to pick words or phrases based on the child''s likes, the language used at home, and what motivates the child. During the session, the therapist uses their hands to help the child''s mouth make the right sounds. The child is encouraged to try on their own, with help given based on how well the child does.
