Gestlalt Language Processing

Gestlalt Language Development

Individualized therapy and coaching for gestalt language processors and caregivers

Overview

Gestalt Language Processing is a way some children develop language by first learning larger chunks of language (or “gestalts”) before breaking them down into smaller, more flexible parts. Understanding this unique language development style helps us support children through individualized, connection-based strategies that honor their communication journey.
