PROMPT anyone?

We are looking into starting PROMPT to supplement the speech therapy that Isabel gets in school 3 days a week.  Does anyone use this method with any success? 

TIA!

    Our SLP has tried some prompt techniques, but Nate is NOT a fan of having his mouth manipulated.

    I am thinking of looking into this further later this year or next summer. I know of another corpus callosum child where prompt was the onlly methed that worked. His mom has been telling me to try it since I first mentioned speech. I am just not sure Nate is ready yet for it. I need to do more research. We will probably go OOP for it.

    Hope you get some good feedback. I am interested in what folks have to say too...

    I'm interested in getting certified so I can see what kind of cues and movements they use, but any good SLP is going to try different tactile cues to try to help a child get placement of speech sounds. I personally love tongue depressors, lollipops, and flat candy like sprees (for older kids). Kids just have to practice feeling the articulation and some with language issues or the very young simply cannot follow the verbal directions to "put your tongue here."

    My SLP used PROMPT (I believe) with my younger son.  He was somewhat tolerant of having her hands on him but moreso she modeled herself with cues.

    For a time would use cues on himself to correct (such as touching his neck/jaw crease area to get a hard "G" sound or pushing his bottom lip with his index finger under his teeth to make an "F" sound) for sounds he was having difficulty with.  He doesn't do it anymore. 

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am

    DD1 is Apraxic and her SLP is PROMPT certified.  The SLP usually modeled on herself and my DD would imitate what she was doing.
