PROMPT and Apraxia
By Pam Marshalla
Q: What is your opinion of PROMPT? I have a parent that believes that this is the only method to use with her apraxic child. I have tried to explain there are other methods to try. I am not PROMPT trained because of the time and expense.
I also have not been formally trained in PROMPT, but I have seen it in action. It is a very good approach, perhaps one of the best for apraxia. But it is not the ONLY way. Nothing is the only way. My personal opinion is that a parent who demands that a certain approach be used should be willing to pay for it.
