This grant is for high quality professional development in the area of motor speech disorders, specifically Childhood Apraxia of Speech. The PROMPT model is a tactile-kinesthetic approach in conjunction with a holistic approach to therapy.
The PROMPT approach would be a new therapeutic technique to use with students with motor speech disorders. It has been recommended in reports from outside speech and language pathologists for Newton students. Professional development in this area would help expand my practice and improve functional outcomes for students.
