RPM+ for Autism, LLC

RPM+ for Autism and Other Disabilities is dedicated to using Soma® Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) to help students connect with their families. It is this company's belief that RPM is the single best approach to access knowledge and communication for students with autism and other disabilities. Other disabilities may include Down's Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy or any disorder that affects communication. People with autism and other disabilities are able to learn and communicate. Educators are responsible for giving students an appropriate mode of response through the open learning channel(s). It is a Teach-Ask approach in which the teacher gives information and checks for understanding by giving written choices and/or letter boards for response. Several students who have started RPM in the last 1-2 years are communicating at a conversational level. RPM+ for Autism and Other Disabilities, LLC, was established in 2012. Jackie Dorshorst is a Speech/Language Pathologist with more than 20 years of experience working with a variety of disabilities.
