Specialist
A LSLS Provider is a speech therapist and educator who "teaches infants and young children with hearing loss to listen and talk with the support of hearing technology such as hearing aids, assistive listening devices (such as an FM system) or cochlear implants." (agbell.org)
A LSLS is "... a professional who has earned certification from the AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language. To hold the LSLS credential, individuals must meet high-level requirements in addition to the standard teacher and clinician preparation programs. An LSLS-certified professional follows developmental models of listening, speech, language, cognition, and communication; uses evidence-based practices; and strives for the best possible outcomes in listening, spoken language, and literacy for children who are deaf or hard of hearing." (agbell.org)
Auditory-Verbal Therapy facilitates optimal acquisition of spoken language through listening by newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Auditory-Verbal Therapy promotes early diagnosis, one-on-one therapy, and state-of-the-art audiological management and technology." (ASHA.org)
"You can expect to actively participate in your child’s listening and spoken language learning process. Through guidance, coaching, and demonstration, parents become the primary facilitators of a child’s spoken language development." (agbell.org)

[Prompts for Restructuring
Oral Phonetic Targets]
Certification makes all the
difference in the world
P.R.O.M.P.T. CERTIFIED clinicians have completed all 3 Levels of PROMPT training through the PROMPT Institute with Certified PROMPT Instructors. At the end of each 3-day course, the Clinician chooses one client to assess and submit a long-term video case study. The clinician assesses the client utilizing the PROMPT System Analysis Observation and the Motor Speech Hierarchy. Making diagnostic judgments the therapeutic plan is created, videoed over the course of 6 months, and then submitted and judged by a certified PROMPT Instructor. The clinician must demonstrate effectiveness, mastery of the theory, and knowledge behind the PROMPT in order to be considered officially PROMPT Level 1 or ,
PROMPT Trained.
This process is done again for PROMPT Level 2. Each clinician must practice the technique for ONE YEAR before moving on to the next step.
A clinician seeking certification must do a 3rd Long Term Video Case study and, again, have it reviewed and critiqued by a Certified PROMPT Instructor. If the CLIENT has shown progress AND the clinician has demonstrated full understanding of the System, he/she is FINALLY CERTIFIED.
Practice makes perfect, and that is true in the case of becoming PROMPT certified. This is your loved one. Don't settle.
