Soma® RPM is a method that through practice, patience and consistency can be used by parents and professionals with their students. Incorporating a daily discipline of using the method for academic teaching and to introduce the concepts into the student's daily life is best. Since students are most familiar with the primary caregiver, we generally recommend that person to be the one to start using RPM at home by reading daily age appropriate material to their student. The primary caregiver can also work with the child by offering written word choices and begin having the student to spell selected word choices. Eventually, students learn to provide their responses by either spelling, handwriting and/or speaking, leading towards open-ended communication. We suggest that students become proficient responding to RPM with one or two people, in the home setting, before introducing it's use with other adults and/or in a groups setting or classroom.
