Gestalt Language Processing

Speech Therapy
Written By Derek Hackett

What It Is:

Gestalt language processors learn language in larger chunks (like scripts or repeated phrases) instead of one word at a time.

Why It Matters:

Without targeted support, children may struggle to break down those scripts into flexible, meaningful speech that allows independent communication.

How Prairie Grit Helps:

  • Speech-language pathologists trained in Natural Language Acquisition

  • Strategies to move from scripts to original phrases

  • Integration with AAC when appropriate

  • Parent coaching for language modeling at home
