Descriptions of Frequency and Intensity of Cueing

I find this information from ASHA very helpful, as I have sometimes debated the severity of a patient's communication disorder and/ or level of dependency with co-workers. Of course, different SLPs will maintain their own professional opinions based on their experience.

From ASHA:

Frequency of Cueing

Consistent

Required 80-100% of the time.

Usually

50-79% of the time.

Occasionally

20-49% of the time.

Rarely

Less than 20% of the time.

Intensity of Cueing

Maximal

Multiple cues that are obvious to nonclinicians. Any combination of auditory, visual, pictorial, tactile, or written cues.

Moderate

Combination of cueing types, some of which may be intrusive.

Minimal

Subtle and only one type of cueing.
