Join the waitlist for GLP 101: Understanding Gestalt Language Development, a live course built for behavioral service providers who are ready to shift from compliance to connection.

GLP 101 offers a foundational introduction to Gestalt Language Processing (GLP)—a natural language acquisition style used by many autistic and neurodivergent individuals.

This course is designed specifically for professionals in behavioral and interdisciplinary roles who are ready to:
• Understand the differences between analytic and gestalt language development
• Recognize and support the stages of gestalt language processing
• Shift from behavior-focused to communication-focused connection strategies
• Use language models that support meaningful, natural communication
• Reframe “behavior” through a neuro-affirming lens that prioritizes relationship and regulation
• Collaborate across disciplines using a shared, supportive approach

Be the first to enroll, receive early access, exclusive bonuses, and elevate your practice with current, evidence-informed language support strategies.

This is the start of the shift you’ve been craving.

Learn to support gestalt language processors through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. A 4-week live course for BCBAs, RBTs & interdisciplinary teams.

🧠✨ What IS neurodiversity? And what does it really mean to be neurodiversity-affirming?

Whether someone is born neurodivergent (like being autistic or having ADHD) or becomes neurodivergent later in life (after a stroke or brain injury), all brains deserve respect, access, and understanding.

Being affirming isn’t about changing people—it’s about changing the lens we use to see them.

Let’s stop asking kids to fit in and start creating spaces where they can belong.

👇 Share this with a friend, teammate, or educator who needs to see it.
♾️ Let’s make this the starting point for real change.
