What a cue is, and how to offer one
What a cue is
A cue is one small step toward the word.
Each item has a few cues, in a set order. The last cue always gives the word or the phrase itself.
A cue is part of practice. Asking for one is not marked, and nothing is said about it.
On the screen
A cue appears only when you select Show a cue. Select Another cue for the next one.
The tool never shows a cue on its own.
If you are the practice partner
These sentences are from the partner guide, word for word.
A cue is one small step toward the word.
Offer a cue only when the person asks for one, or after a long wait. Ask first: "Would you like a cue?"
Give one cue at a time, in the order shown. Then wait again.
The last cue always gives the word or the phrase itself. Say it, and go to the next item. Nobody is left stuck.
On paper
The partner sheet lists the cues for each item in order, and then the intended word.
Plain explanations
This is practice material. It is not medical advice and it is not speech therapy. It does not replace a speech-language pathologist.
Sudden new trouble speaking or understanding is an emergency. Call 911 or your local emergency number now. Tell your doctor or speech-language pathologist about trouble swallowing or changes in mood.
