*PROMPT is an advanced training. PROMPT stands for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets. It is a tactile-kinesthetic approach to speech therapy, which means that the speech-language pathologist uses touch cues on the client's face (vocal folds, jaw, lips, tongue), to support and shape correct movement of these articulators.
