Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) is a teaching method that teaches autistic children to respond to the teacher not through speaking but by making 50/50 choices on paper. Gradually the child is taught how to point to letters on a letter board and then they can spell their answers.
RPM recognised that autism is not a lack of understanding but a difficulty in motor control and a lack of speech. Matthew’s four year old nephew Shane attends the ASD unit in Newport N.S.
