https://slpimpact.com/ • An SLP Impact member recently asked us if we could provide some information about what is the difference between a Q and a prompt or they're the same? Are they different? Well, I think that in our field, we often use those terms interchangeably though. They are actually quite different and they have different impact when we talk about collecting data and measuring progress, because they are very different levels of support for students. • So in terms of a definition, Hughes give hints that helps students arrive at an answer prompts, lead students to the answer. So prompts are heavier. They provide more information. The Texas education agency put together some information about visual, tactile and auditory, verbal prompts and cues to share. Now, this is more focused on their state assessment, the star test, • but we've put some information together. That's relevant for speech, language pathologists using similar guidelines. So in terms of visual cues for speech therapy, it might mean highlighting text or color coding text using pictures to clarify, meaning for students, maybe using objects as to help students visualize problems or different objects and shapes to represent the different parts of the speech color-coding of communication boards. • As something that we often do, which is a cue to, is this an action work? Is this a noun? On the other hand, prompts were visual prompts include visual displays of each step required, possibly a picture of the answer, an object that represents the answer. And then we have tactile cues which can be pointing to a prompt for participation. • It can be tapping syllables. It can be touching the student's arm to prompt them to start a task. Whereas a prompt of a tactile prompt would be hand over hand assistance to create a sign, to move the student's hand to a particular square on an augmentative communication board pointing to correct answers. Things like that will be considered prompts. Now auditory verbal cues would include things like a repetition of the instructions or a reminder to take a breath focus, • take your time. Encouragement to keep working would be a verbal cue. On the other hand, a verbal prompt would be step by step directives to help a student get all the way through a task specific instructions about which picture to select, or perhaps even saying the answer out loud, allowed for the student to repeat it. So those would be examples of auditory or verbal prompts. • We created this nice little tool for you to download. You can go to the resource library at Bilinguistics dot com and download this to have it there for your, for your sessions or for your meetings or IEP meetings. You can take this and to provide information for the advocates in the room and others who are interested in knowing what the differences between a Q and a prompt.
