What is Gestalt Language Processing?

Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) is a therapy that helps children develop real communication by working with how they naturally learn and use language. Unlike traditional language development methods which build language step by step, GLP recognises that some children learn language in chunks or “gestalts” such as phrases or sentences they hear and repeat. Our therapists work closely with your child to support their individual communication style, to help them break down these gestalts into smaller parts and combine them in new and functional ways. This allows children to communicate authentically and promotes long term language growth.

Who can benefit from Gestalt Language Processing?

Gestalt language processors (GLPs) are individuals who learn and process language in chunks which sometimes involves immediate and/or delayed echolalia.

Why is Thera Kids the best provider for this service?

Our therapists have extensive knowledge of GLPs. We incorporate the following key principles of GLP treatment in order to improve your child’s language development:

 

  • Child-led play: The therapist follows the child's lead and homes in on their interests, creating a natural and engaging environment for language learning.

  • Natural contexts: An option to receive therapy in everyday settings, such as the child's home or school, is provided to promote the use of the targeted language skills in everyday situations.

  • Echolalia as a tool: The therapist acknowledges the child’s echolalia making the child feel heard and understood and uses it as a starting point for communication and language expansion.

  • Building on strengths: Therapy focuses on the child's unique strengths and interests to motivate and engage them in the learning process.
