It may feel like the right but these three things are actually preventing your child from developing conversational speech.

Asking your child “wh” questions - kids that develop language by repeating phrases and songs they hear do not develop the ability to answer questions until later in their language development. If you ask them questions before their brain is ready, more than likely they’ll just repeat the question back to you and both of you will be frustrated.

Using only 1-2 word phrases - some people may tell you that your child only has the ability to understand single words at a time. That likely isn’t true. Most children that communicate using echolalia/ scripting have the capabilities to memorize entire shows, songs, or books!! 🤯

Prompting your child to talk - pressure to communicate can shut down their brain. Children that use echolalia pick up language and phrases naturally that make sense and light up their brain. When we prompt and force them to use language we think it’s important, it can slow their natural language development process and train their brain to not feel like their way of communication is valid.

Now that you know what to STOP doing, here’s what you should know.

1. Children that develop language and communication in this way are gestalt language processors. They develop language differently than children that develop a vocabulary of primarily single words.
2. Gestalt language processing is not a disorder. It’s a natural way to develop language and we needs to honor and affirm how they communicate.
3. They won’t script and use echolalia forever

If this sounds like a child you know, share this reel so children get the RIGHT support they need.

* Most speech therapists are NOT trained to work with gestalt language processors. You can find a list of trained speech therapists on registry. They also have a free webinar to help parents better understand gestalt language processing

Gestalt language processing is one of two ways children develop language. This is a natural way of developing language and communication. It isn’t a disorder or a diagnosis. Read to understand if a child is a late talker or a gestalt language processor…

Some children develop language with a big inventory of single words and when they are about two years old, they start making 2-3 word phrases.

Other children, like the child in this video, are phrase-based language learners. They develop language through an inventory of language chunks/phrases. While they may say a few single words, they can more easily sing along to songs, imitate phrases with rich intonation, and can be caught speaking gibberish or jargon babbling. But, if you listen close, like in this video, that gibberish or babbling is actually intentional and meaningful communication.

In this video, the child is singing the intonation of the alphabet song. If you weren’t paying attention, you could easily just mistake it for unintentional babbling.

Children whose communication efforts are not understood or validated can become delayed because their brain is not getting the proper reinforcement that they way they understand language and communicate is being understood. These kids will brilliantly start utilizing other communication methods, pointing, gesturing, crying, grunting, independently problem solving and getting things for themselves.

When you understand that your child is a GLP, you can support their brain’s way of developing language and communication.

If your child seems similar in their language development style, you are not alone and your child is not broken!!

At Rooted and Rising Therapies, all of our therapists specialize in supporting gestalt language processors grow to their full potential and become successful communicators! We would love to help!

Not every therapy practice writes goals the same way.

Some practices’ goals straight from standardized tests.
Checklist. Percentile. Deficit. Move on.

But your child is not a data point.

At Rooted Therapies, we look beyond test scores.
We ask:

✨ How does your child experience the world?
✨ What brings them joy?
✨ What feels hard — and why?
✨ What matters most to your family right now?

Because meaningful goals aren’t written from a manual.
They’re built from relationship, observation, collaboration, and trust.

We care about:
✔️ Felt safety
✔️ Authentic connection
✔️ Regulation before performance
✔️ Strengths before “fixing”
✔️ Real-life participation that matters to your child

Standardized tools can give information.
But they don’t tell us who your child is.

And who your child is?
That’s where we start. 🌿

If you’re looking for therapy that feels different — more human, more collaborative, more rooted — we’d love to connect.
