3"Developing Speech as a Procedural Skill for Autism using RPM" by Soma Mukhopadhyay provides a comprehensive guide to enhancing communication skills in non-speaking and selectively speaking students through the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM). Drawing from years of experience, Mukhopadhyay introduces a combination of tactile and kinesthetic techniques designed to aid speech development. She explores the synchronization of oro-motor movements with existing spelling skills as a foundation for speech, addressing the principles of RPM for understanding students' oro-motor habits and sensory challenges. The book offers replacement strategies for enhancing speech readiness and emphasizes the importance of emotional and sensory preparation. It provides actionable steps for transitioning from spelling on a letter board or typing to purposeful speech, making it an essential resource for educators and caregivers.
