What is the difference between being PROMPT Certified vs. trained?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions. The PROMPT Institute offers three courses. A SLP is considered trained after taking the first introductory course. They are also continued to be considered trained after taking the second course (Bridging) which deals primarily with writing goals using the PROMPT approach. The third course is a 4 month videotaped project. This is the only time where hands- on tactile cues are used for an extended period of time. The project is then graded by the Institute to determine if certain criteria were met for Certification. Although there are many PROMPT trained clinicians, the Certification is the only way of determining that the SLP has met specific criteria at various skill levels to warrant the certification status.
