Gestalt Language Processing

Gestalt language processing is a natural way some children acquire language, starting with “chunks” or phrases of language rather than single words. Children who process language this way often benefit from therapy that respects their unique learning style. 

At Oceanview Therapy, we provide neurodiversity-affirming support to children who use gestalt language processing. Our therapists guide children through the stages of language development, helping them break down and recombine “chunks” of language into original sentences. We celebrate and build upon echolalia, encouraging children to develop meaningful and functional communication.
