Discover the Power of DTTC and PROMPT Therapy
Hands-on, Motor Learning Approach
DTTC stands for Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing, a therapy technique used to treat severe speech sound disorders, particularly childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)
(Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) is based on motor learning principles and uses a combination of visual and auditory models to help shape articulatory movements. The therapy involves:
- Integral stimulation: The clinician models auditory and visual models for the patient to imitate
- Slowed rate: The therapy uses a slowed rate to help shape articulatory movements
- Tactile cues: The therapy uses tactile cues to help shape articulatory movements
- Cueing: The therapy starts with maximum queuing and then fades the cues as soon as possible
DTTC was developed by speech language pathologist Edith Strand, Ph.D., CCC-SLP.
PROMPT Therapy uses direct tactile cues on the face and neck to guide accurate sound production, providing an immediate connection between movements and speech clarity.
Enhances Speech Patterns
By integrating tactile, auditory, and visual feedback, we help children develop consistent muscle memory, crucial for fluent speech.
Step-by-Step Skill Building
Our highly structured sessions break down complex speech patterns, allowing children to build skills incrementally, leading to effective, independent speech.
Promotes Real-life Communication
With PROMPT Therapy, your child learns to use their skills functionally at home, school, and beyond, ensuring clear communication across all environments.
