Qualifications
PROMPT Trained Speech-Language Pathologist
​
The PROMPT Technique can be used to target speech production disorders in children above the age of 6 months. When we use the PROMPT Technique, we are targeting all domains and systems in order to assist with sound production. According to the PROMPT Institute, PROMPT is "a program to develop motor skill in the development of language for interaction". This means that the PROMPT Technique assists children in increasing their motor skills in order to produce sounds, with the purpose of creating language for communication purposes! The PROMPT Technique targets the physical-sensory, cognitive-linguistic, and social-emotional aspects of motor performance.​
NLA Trained Speech-Language Pathologist
​
Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) refers to language development characterized by the use of gestalts. Gestalts are whole units of language which represent a specific meaning or feeling to the speaker. You may be more familiar with the term "Gestalt Language Processing (GLP)". An NLA Trained Clinician can diagnose gestalt language usage and provide therapy aimed at increasing language skills.
Beckman Oral Motor Protocol Trained
Speech-Language Pathologist
​
The Beckman Oral Motor Protocol uses assisted movement and stretch reflexes to assist with strengthening the muscles used for oral motor activities, and increasing their coordination. This method can assist with increasing tone, decreasing the presence of drooling, increasing sound production, assisting with feeding, and beyond. In order to use this method, children are not required to participate cognitively. This means that the child does not need to actively be able to follow directions in order to complete the tasks associated with this method/protocol.
