Gestalt Processing in Children

Learning language differently isn’t wrong. Understand Gestalt Processing and how to help your child thrive.

Does your child repeat chunks of dialogue from TV or Youtube?

Do they speak with an American accent, copying what they are watching?

Can they talk in full sentences but then appear to stumble especially with pronouns and the little words (the, is, a)?

If so, they could be a Gestalt Language Processor which means that they learn language differently to other children.

There is nothing wrong with this – but this style of learning can have implications for classroom learning and therapy.

What you will learn:

• What is Gestalt Processing?
• How can it affect classroom learning and therapy?
• What can we do to support?

If you suspect that your child might process langauge in this way then come along to find out more and learn how you can support them going forwards.

The important bits you need to know:
