It can be done any time, anywhere! Next time you’re doing an everyday activity, such as cooking 🧑‍🍳, bath time 🫧 or going to the park 🛝, try incorporating these phrases.

Goal setting in speech pathology is more than just progress. ⭐️
It is about ensuring goals truly serve the individual, not society’s expectations. When goal setting, take a moment to ask yourself: Who does this goal truly serve❔

Challenge your own bias, whether neuroytypical or professional, and focus on what truly matters for the individual. 🧡

The Natural Language Acquisition Framework by Marge Blanc shows us how Gestalt Language Processors learn language. ⭐️⭐️

It takes us through 6️⃣ stages, starting from echolalia all the way to self-generated language.

Some children move through all six stages naturally, but others need help to move through the stages. 🧡

This post outlines a brief overview of Stage 1 and Stage 2, highlighting the key characteristics and strategies to support children in these stages. 🤩

Does your child communicate through delayed echolalia? 💬They may be a Gestalt Language Processor! ⭐️

Many people assume all children progress from babbling, to single words, and eventually to conversation. But that is just one way! Some children develop language in chunks, often repeating full phrases (delayed echolalia) before breaking them down into smaller parts. This is called Gestalt Language Processing, and is a typical way to acquire language.
