PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) a tactually grounded, sensori-motor, cognitive-linguistic treatment model is explored as a philosophy, approach, system and technique. The PROMPT Conceptual Framework and the Motor-Speech Hierarchy are described as frameworks for both assessment and treatment that help clinicians develop a holistic communication focus for treatment, while embedding motor, language and social interaction goals. The role of technique and tactual systems in PROMPT are explained with relevance to their use and application with children who have moderate to severe mixed phonological and motor impairment. General assessment guidelines and priorities for treatment, with one case study are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
