When Models Aren't Sticking: Supporting Minimally Speaking Gestalt Language Processors Live
Available November 3rd, 2025 | 12:00pm CDT | 90 minutes | 0.15 ASHA CEUs
Professionals often encounter minimally or non-speaking gestalt language processors (GLPs) who do not progress through Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) stages in typical ways. Despite consistent modeling, regulation, and child-led support, gestalt language development may appear stalled, leaving clinicians and caregivers uncertain about next steps. This 90 minute intensive, led by Katja Piscitelli, M.S., CCC-SLP, provides a structured exploration of intervention strategies for GLPs whose communication development diverges from expected NLA patterns. Participants will examine the intersection of gestalt language processing, motor speech challenges, and neurodiversity-affirming practice.
