  • Virtual via Zoom Virtual Zoom (map)

Over the last few years it seems the terms, “Gestalt Language Processing” (GLP) and “Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) have been increasingly discussed among professionals. Though the research surrounding these topics has been around for decades, why does it seem Gestalt Language Processing has flown under the radar for many years? How does this information affect my practice as a related service provider or educator, and how can I support this language processing style? This 4-hour workshop will explore the Literature of Gestalt Language Processing, Analytic Language Processing, and how evaluation and implementation for Augmentative Alternative Communication may look different for each. Ideas and video content will be shared demonstrating different approaches and considerations for making AAC more inclusive for those who are Gestalt Language Processors.
