Cueing vs. Feedback

Full transcript

What's the difference between cueing and feedback? It's all about timing. Cueing comes before or during the attempt and helps the child make the movement. Feedback comes after and tells them how it went.

Cues can be visual, verbal, tactile, gestural, a whisper, or a slower rate. In DTTC, we add and fade them as the child needs them.

Feedback can be about the movement, like "I saw your lips round for 'oh,'" or about the result, like "Yes, that's it." As the child gets more accurate, we give feedback less often and after a short pause.

So cues help the child get there, and feedback helps them learn from it.
