[quote=Anonymous]PP with 13 yo again.

Prompt is one approach to treating CAS and works with many kids. But there are other techniques too. And the best Prompt trained therapist has a variety of tools in his/her toolkit to utilize as warranted.

Over the years we had several therapists and they used different approaches at different times. Prompt helped a lot but wasn't THE silver bullet.

LEAP is especially great to build early literacy skills in kids with a variety of speech language issues and make sure they have the phonemic awareness needed for K and beyond. But it is a part-time preschool program and there are breaks for the university vacations. Also the clinicians are students so there is turnover.

We asked the LEAP clinicians to work on a particular set of issues (expressive language, length of utterances, descriptive language and social skills) that emerged as he gained more speech. But we continued to have our private Prompt-trained SLP responsible for most of the articulation work (2 sessions per week). The therapists knew about each other and shared reports and treatment plans at our request.
