Hi -
I was talking to a mom I know this weekend, and her daughter has a specialized type of speech therapy called "prompting" (I think?)
We were at the aquarium and it was very loud so I couldn't hear her terribly well but
I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about it, what it entails, what it's purpose is, where one finds such a therapist? Or any good websites, etc.
thanks in advance. laurie

I'm not sure LAURIE, Hmmmm I know Chris gets "cueing" in Speech, Hmmm wonder if thats kind of the same  the "cueing" are hand signals that remind Chris to use the right sound for a word. I will search around on the "prompting" I am very curious if its the same as the cueing or not.

it's something like shaping the mouth to form different sounds. i guess to show the child the proper positions for mouth movement, positioning and shaping, so it's not the same as cueing (which i originally thought it was)
i'm going to see if i can find the mom's # and see if I can find out more...apparently it's specialized and the therapist has to be trained. if i find anything else, i'll post up.

K, check this site out...
www.promptinstitute.com/parentques.html
Definately answers that "Cueing" and "Prompting" are not the same thing.
Actually LAURIE, you have had me wondering bout this since you posted. Any and all to due with Speech, I like to know Anywho I also found if you type "Prompt Institute" into your search, helps to find more info on this.

CC - thanks for the website...that sounds something like she described, plus it sounds a little like ABA (applied behavioral whatchamacalllit) which I know this mom is big into and I read somewhere else about prompting and ABA. I think it's used more w/ kids with autism, although this website sounds like it deals more w/ apraxia.
If I find out anything else, I let you know...thanks for the website, again laurie
