The PROMPT Institute works to advance the development and availability of tactual sensory systems and their critical role in the rehabilitation of speech, language, cognition, and interaction.
PROMPT, an acronym for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets, is a technique that uses touch cues to a patient’s jaw, tongue, lips to manually guide them through a targeted word, phrase or sentence. The technique develops motor control and the development of proper oral muscular movements, while eliminating unnecessary muscle movements.
