Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) is a teaching technique that empowers individuals with communication difficulties to express themselves. Here’s how it works:
- Prompting: Using a letter board or keyboard, a teacher or assistant prompts students with questions or prompts.
- Response: Students respond by pointing to letters on the board or typing on the keyboard to spell out their thoughts and ideas.
- Communication Improvement: RPM enhances communication by enabling individuals to express themselves more efficiently and accurately.
- Learning Enhancement: By utilizing RPM, students can overcome barriers to learning and tap into their untapped potential.
- Social Interaction: RPM fosters improved social interaction as individuals gain the ability to effectively communicate with others.
RPM offers a powerful method for enhancing communication, learning, and social interaction for individuals facing communication difficulties, such as autism or cerebral palsy. Goally, our tablet, supports RPM by enhancing language skills, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and social interaction through visual schedules, AAC, gamified learning, and skill-building apps.
