PROMPT provides support in a multi-sensory (with focus on tactile-kinesthetic) and dynamic way to support growth and development of speech and communication function. PROMPT aims to facilitate a client’s ability to produce speech sounds, to modify motor patterns already created for speech sounds, and to integrate motor, social-emotional, and cognitive-linguistic functions for the development of effective communication.

LLA Therapy’s speech therapists who utilize the Orton-Gillingham approach can evaluate and design lessons and materials that are individualized to the needs of the child. Instruction focuses on strengths and weaknesses while teaching a direct and systematic understanding of language and its relationship to our reading and writing systems.
