✨ OPENINGS ✨
🌟 Gestalt Language Processing - Speech Therapy 🌟

We’re so excited to share that Mrs. Samantha is Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) trained through Meaningful Speech! ✨

This specialized approach supports children who develop language through scripts, echolalia, or chunks of language rather than single words first. With the right strategies, GLP helps kids move toward flexible, self-generated communication—building confidence, connection, and joy in their communication journey. 💬💜

👉 Mrs. Samantha currently has daytime openings in Elgin!

Working with a therapist trained in Gestalt Language Processing means your child benefits from:
✅ Evidence-based strategies tailored to their unique language development
✅ A supportive, child-led approach that honors their voice
✅ Tools that help move from echolalia to spontaneous, meaningful speech

📍 Spots are limited—don’t miss the chance to work with a specialized therapist who truly understands your child’s communication needs!
