PROMPT therapy

PROMPT therapy, which stands for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets, is a specialized speech therapy technique. It focuses on helping individuals, particularly children, improve their speech clarity and communication skills. The therapist uses tactile prompts—physical guidance through touch and movement—to teach proper speech sounds and patterns. This hands-on approach aids in developing muscle coordination and awareness, making it easier for the person to produce sounds correctly. PROMPT therapy is particularly effective for those with speech disorders or developmental delays, helping them gain confidence in their speaking abilities.
