Does your child repeat chunks from TV or Youtube? Do they speak with an american accent?  Can they talk in full sentences but then appear to stumble especially with pronouns and the little words (the, is, a)? They could well be a gestalt language processor, sometimes called natural language acquisition. It means that they learn language differently to other children. There is nothing wrong with this but there are implications for therapy and also classroom learning. Join Libby Hill as she covers:<ul><li>W﻿hat is Gestalt Processing?</li></ul><ul><li>H﻿ow can it affect class room learning and therapy?</li></ul><ul><li>W﻿hat can we do to support?</li></ul>As always there will be time for questions throughout the presentation. Slides, references and CPD certificates will be available to attendees along with a recording to watch the webinar again for up to 30 days afterwards.
