Prompt-Free Pathways

Prompt dependence is common for gestalt language processors and often, it isn’t about the child. It’s about the strategies we have been taught to use as parents and professionals.

In this 1-hour, self-paced mini course, Alex Zachos, walks you through 9 practical strategies designed to support spontaneous, self-initiated communication without relying on questions, cues, or fill-in-the-blank prompts.

You’ll learn how to shift from “teaching language” to supporting language development, with a focus on child-led interactions, regulation, trust, and modeling language without expectation.

This mini course includes:

• 1 hour of video content
• Open comments for questions and discussion
• A professional development certificate upon completion for 1.0 PDHs

If you’re looking for concrete ways to reduce prompt dependence, this mini-course offers a clear and supportive starting point.
