Honoring Language,
the Way It Naturally Develops.
Our Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) – informed therapy supports children who learn language in chunks rather than single words. We meet your child where they are, valuing their unique communication style and guiding them toward flexible, meaningful language—without pressure to change who they are.
Language Support That Follows Your Child’s Lead.
Our Gestalt Language Processing approach honors how language naturally develops while supporting meaningful, flexible communication over time. By reducing pressure, building connection, and partnering with families, we create a supportive environment where language can grow in a way that feels safe, authentic, and effective for each child.
Respects Natural Language Development
We honor how your child acquires language through meaningful chunks rather than forcing word-by-word speech.
Reduces Pressure & Frustration
By working with your child’s natural processing style, therapy feels safer, calmer, and more successful.
Supports Meaningful Communication
We focus on helping your child communicate wants, needs, and ideas in ways that are functional and authentic.
Builds Language Flexibility Over Time
Through modeling and support, we help children move toward more flexible and self-generated language at their own pace.
Family-Centered Collaboration
Caregivers learn how to support language development at home using everyday routines and natural interactions.
Your GLP Questions, Answered.
Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Explore these frequently asked questions to get quick answers and learn how personalized support can make all the difference for you and your baby.
-
Gestalt Language Processing is a natural way some children develop language by learning phrases or “chunks” of language rather than single words first.
-
Instead of breaking language down into individual words, GLP-informed therapy supports meaningful phrases and gradually helps children develop flexible, self-generated language.
-
GLP is commonly seen in autistic children but can apply to any child who uses scripts, echolalia, or learned phrases to communicate.
-
No. Echolalia is a valid and meaningful form of communication, and we work with it—not against it—to support language growth.
-
Every child’s journey is unique. Our goal is to support functional, self-generated communication at a pace that respects your child’s development and autonomy.
-
We coach caregivers on modeling language naturally, responding meaningfully to scripts, and creating opportunities for communication during everyday routines.
