Gestalt Language Processing Therapy

At Clae Speech Therapy, we understand that every child’s language journey is unique. If your child uses echolalia or frequently repeats phrases they’ve heard, they may be a gestalt language processor. Our specialized Gestalt Language Processing Therapy is tailored to meet your child’s individual needs, helping them move from repeating language chunks to creating spontaneous, meaningful communication. We’re here to support your child in building their own voice, one step at a time.

What is Gestalt Language Processing?

Gestalt Language Processing is a way of understanding how some children learn and use language. Instead of learning individual words first, gestalt language processors often learn language in larger, memorized chunks or "gestalts." Over time, these chunks can be broken down and reorganized into flexible, creative speech. Our goal is to help your child progress from using these memorized phrases to creating their own sentences and expressing their thoughts more freely.

Our Approach

At Clae Speech Therapy, we follow your child’s lead, joining them in the language and activities that capture their interest. We prioritize meeting their sensory needs and creating a safe, supportive environment where they feel comfortable exploring language. By working within their natural way of processing language, we help them gradually move toward spontaneous and self-generated speech.

What to Expect in Our Gestalt Language Processing Sessions

Each session is customized to your child’s unique way of processing and using language. We use play-based and interest-driven activities to engage your child, gradually breaking down echolalic phrases into smaller units that can be reassembled into more flexible and creative expressions. Our therapy is designed to be engaging and supportive, helping your child feel confident as they develop their language skills.

Benefits of Gestalt Language Processing Therapy

Through Gestalt Language Processing therapy, your child will move from relying on memorized language chunks to creating spontaneous and flexible language. This progress can lead to more meaningful communication, greater self-expression, and a stronger connection with others.
