Description:

Some children learn words one at a time. But our gestalt language processors learn to communicate using scripts, delayed echolalia, and full phrases or sentences. This webinar will dive into how these children are acquiring language and what we can do to support these children to find their voice. This webinar is appropriate for speech-language pathologists, caregivers, educators, and anyone else supporting gestalt language processors.

Learner Objectives:

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to…

  • Describe the difference between analytic language processors and gestalt language processors
  • List signs that a child is a gestalt language processor
  • Describe how to find meaning behind a child’s gestalts
  • Describe how to model gestalts and encourage communication in early gestalt language processors
  • Describe how alternative communication methods can be used to help GLPs communicate

However, we are able to allow you to print of a certificate of completion for professional development hours (PDH). ASHA will allow you to use these types of PDHs for all 30 of your continuing education hours, you just have to fill out a form at the end of your certification cycle to state which PDHs you attended.   You will also need to save and store your own certificates.  We do not keep track of those for you.
