PROMPT uses which sensory cues?

PROMPT uses which sensory cues?

• A. Proprioceptive, pressure, and kinesthetic cues
• B. Visual cues only
• C. Auditory cues only
• D. Olfactory cues

Answer: (A)

PROMPT relies on tactile-kinesthetic guidance to shape speech movements, using proprioceptive and pressure cues to cue the correct articulator positions and movements. By placing hands on the lips, jaw, tongue, and sometimes the neck, the clinician provides feedback about where the articulators should be and how they should move, helping the speaker learn the motor patterns for speech through sense of position and movement. Visual or auditory cues can accompany therapy but are not the defining mechanism, and olfactory cues have no role. So, cues that involve proprioceptive sense, pressure, and kinesthetic feedback best capture PROMPT’s approach.
