PROMPT

Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets (PROMPT) is a multifaceted approach that combines motor movement, comprehension and the social exchanges of communication.

Sensory Integration

Sensory integration or “sensory processing” is a term that refers to the way the nervous system receives messages from the senses (i.e taste, smell, auditory, visual, internal) and turns them into appropriate motor and behavioral responses.

SCERTS® Model

The SCERTS® Model is a research-based educational approach and multidisciplinary framework that directly addresses the core challenges faced by children and persons with ASD and related disabilities, and their families.

Mokoto Arena

The Makoto Arena is wonderfully adapted to fit the needs of each individual through programmed activities in a game format. Children and Adults alike are offered the opportunity to be challenged at different levels which encourage them to come back.

SOS Approach to Feeding

Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding is a program for assessing and treating children with feeding difficulties. The components involved in feeding are extremely complex. Children with motor issues are unable to manage food safely.

Beckman's Oral Motor

Beckman's oral motor therapy is specific interventions which provide assisted movement to activate muscle contraction and to provide movement against resistance to build strength.

Sensorimotor Approach to Feeding

Muscle based speech and feeding therapy that involves both sensory and motor components of the neurological system.

Oral Placement Therapy (OPT)

Oral-motor therapy addresses the physical movements of speech and feeding. OPT incorporates the proprioceptive and kinesthetic feedback necessary to address the sensory aspects of speech production and feeding skills.

The Listening Program by Advanced Brain Technologies™

The Listening Program is a music therapy system to imrpove brain fitness in the areas of executive function, communication, auditory processing, social/emotional function, stress response, motor coordination and creativity.

 

Pragmatic System Approach

Learning language is a function of the brain and today’s neuroscience provides the research for understanding how language functions. Language is the tool for literacy; how we view, think, read, write, listen, speak, and calculate.

Interactive Metronome

A neuro-motor therapy leader that has changed clinical expectations by assisting patients in reaching greater functional gains in a shorter period of time.

Story Grammar Marker®

Story Grammar Marker® is a hands on, multi-sensory tool that has colorful, meaningful icons that represent the organizational structure of a story. The tool itself is a complete episode, the basic unit of a plot.

Literacy Speaks®

An innovative program driven by orthographic instruction to target articulation, phonological awareness, speech intelligibility and build literacy skills–all simultaneously! Program covers the full alphabet, plus diphthongs, digraphs and trigraphs.

Expanding Expression Tool®

The Expanding Expression Tool (EET) kit helps to build language constructs by providing a systematic means of understanding how small parts fit into the whole by making connections between concepts. It helps with the following:

•  Oral expression

Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS® )

A Lindamood-Bell program, Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS® ) develops phoneme awareness. Students learn to recognize how their mouths’ produce the sounds of language. This kinesthetic feedback enables reading, spelling, and speech.

PECS - Picture Exchange Communication System

Picture Exchange Communication System, widely known as PECS, was developed in 1985 as a unique augmentative/alternative communication intervention package for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental disabilities.
