This training was built for agencies, schools, and individual SLPs who are looking to have accurate, easily digestible information about GLP at their fingertips.

There is no need to spend time creating a presentation for your staff after taking a course or reading a book on gestalt language development! There is also no need to recreate conversations over and over again with families trying to cover the basics. Instead, get families up to speed and spend time discussing individualized supports specific to their child. The video series is accompanied by a workbook that will guide you through the videos and support conversations with your staff or with families on these foundational topics, as well as provide educational handouts to share with others.

Practices, schools, daycares, and programs may purchase this video series to share with their staff. You will receive a single log-in, but this log-in can be shared with your team so they can access the training.

This course is a series of 9 videos that total 1 hour of content with a downloadable PDF workbook.

The instructor will present information while also directing you to the workbook for “check-ins” and reflections throughout the training.

The videos can be watched one after the other for a professional development day or viewed at one's own pace over time. It may also be used to provide families with information during speech therapy sessions.

This may be watched individually or as a group, as the training was made to be used for a variety of purposes and settings. 

Learners will gain understanding in the following areas:

• What is echolalia?
• What is the difference between analytic language processing and gestalt language processing?
• The stages of gestalt language development as a natural process
• The “dos” and “don’ts” of supporting a gestalt language processor (e.g. sensory supports, asking questions, providing natural language models, and more!)
• Some considerations when supporting a GLP with AAC

This video series covers introductory-level information on the topic of gestalt language development and how to create an environment that is ripe for natural language development.

While the series does touch on many topics the Meaningful Speech course covers, the content presented in this video series is introductory and does not provide the in-depth information presented in the Meaningful Speech course.

For some, this information may be all they need for their role in a GLPs life. For others, this will be the start of their journey of learning about gestalt language development and how to support GLPs.
