Verbal cues may feel like the least intrusive form of prompting in speech therapy—but research and practice show they are actually the most restrictive.

In this episode, I share three powerful reasons why verbal cues hold children back and why you need to fade them quickly:
✅ How verbal cues undermine self-efficacy and independence
✅ Why verbal cues take away valuable executive function practice
✅ How verbal cues prevent true mastery and create prompt dependency

You’ll learn practical ways to shift toward multimodal cueing strategies that empower children to take ownership of their learning.
