Step 4: PROMPT Certification Project

 

In order for you to participate in the PROMPT Certification Project you need to complete the following three steps: Introduction to PROMPT: Technique course, Technique Practicum Project, and Bridging PROMPT Technique to Intervention course. This self-study project requires you to choose a client on your caseload, complete the Global Domain Evaluation, complete treatment planning and demonstrate treatment implementation and adjustments over time (four-month period). Once submitted, you receive detailed constructive feedback and recommendations regarding your assessment, treatment planning and treatment implementation skills, which includes technique from a PROMPT instructor. This is a pass/fail project. In order to pass you need to achieve 80% accuracy in three areas: PROMPT approach and system, positioning and technique, and treatment planning and final analysis. Completing this project indicates you have achieved one of the highest levels of training possible.
 
The clinician is expected to provide a detailed assessment (similar to the guided experience in the  Bridging workshop) of a patient's abilities across all domains and develop a holistic intervention plan. This includes the selection of priorities on the Motor Speech Hierarchy to develop motor-phonemes  and words for use within functional, interactive contexts. Parent /caregiver strategies and goals will  also be developed.

 

 
Learning Outcomes: 

 

At the completion of the PROMPT Certification process, clinicians will have:
  1. Analyzed all client domains to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses the client brings to the communication interaction. The assessment areas include: physical-sensory, cognitive-linguistic, social-emotional and behavior.
  2. Based on the domain analysis and client or caregivers’ input, developed a communication focus for structuring the development and organization of long term goals to direct the therapy focus.
  3. Demonstrated an ability to utilize the PROMPT Systems Analysis Observation and Motor Speech Hierarchy to analyze the motor speech subsystem breakdown and/or over-compensation regarding the symmetry, control, independence, flexibility, and combined control of all parameters.
  4. Prioritized three speech subsystem parameters for initial focus based on the functional analysis, and selected the levels of PROMPTs based on subsystem priorities.
  5. Demonstrated the integration of prioritized speech subsystem parameters and planes of movement to develop motor-phoneme links, syllables, words and phrases that support the functional analysis.
  6. Developed three activities that could be immediately used in the clinician’s setting to integrate all of the above.
  7. Developed written goals and objectives that demonstrate a working familiarity with the USE social application model for integrating motor-phoneme links to functional environmental language use.
  8. Demonstrated appropriate positioning throughout the activities based on the client's domain analysis. 
  9. Consistently used accurate and precise technique with at least three of the four levels of PROMPT (Parameter, Syllable, Complex, and Surface PROMPTs). Demonstrated appropriate PROMPTing
  10. frequency and flexibility with on-line shaping (using different levels of PROMPT based on the client's target productions throughout the activities).
  11. Demonstrated excellence in timing, matching verbal model with PROMPTing, and wrist rotation.
  12. Evaluated and revised the Initial Plan based on continuing analysis to facilitate progressive change across all domains and implemented changes in the Final Plan. 
  13. Evaluated and described in a narrative how the Initial and Final Plans reflect the Philosophy, Approach, System and Technique of PROMPT, including detailed, objective measurement data.
  14. Summarized how this plan differs from other treatment approaches and benefited the client.
