Supporting Gestalt Language Processing - a Total Communication Approach
This new course has been written for practitioners supporting children and young people who may be identified as Gestalt Language Processors. You will learn how to recognise Gestalt Language Processors and explore strategies to develop their communication and social engagement. Practitioners familiar with the term Natural Language Acquisition, (NLA) please note NLA refers to Laura Lee's sentence analysis from Stage 4, whereas this course references other approaches e.g. how visual support strategies and evidence-based support for emotional literacy might be adopted. The recommendations are according to the GLP's individual needs across the stages and include suggestions of strategies which have been effective for many GLP autistic learners. The course is relevant for those working with autistic individuals in mainstream settings, specialist provisions, AAC users and non-speakers.
The course is written by Helen Driver and designed for TAs, Teachers and Early Years Practitioners but excellent for SaLTs too who want to develop their knowledge of GLP and neuro-affirming practice.
