Echolalia and Gestalt Language Development: Supporting Communication in Everyday Adventures

Move beyond simply recognizing scripts and delayed echolalia as a “gestalt” to understanding why a child may be using them and what you can do to support authentic communication.

In this practical, neurodiversity-affirming training, you'll explore how to recognize when a child may be developing language “whole to part” as a gestalt language processor (GLP), what that means for their language goals, and how the adults in their lives can create environments that support connection, safety, and spontaneous communication.

You'll leave with strategies you can begin using in therapy, the classroom, and everyday life right away.
