DESCRIPTION:

Gestalt language processing (GLP) has recently become a trending topic in the world of speech-language pathology. What is GLP? What do we know about it and where did it come from? Who can use it? What does the evidence tell us about GLP and is it an evidence-based model? During this session, the presenters will answer these questions and more, sharing what we know, what we don’t know, and how to ensure we prioritize each individual child and their unique needs when providing early intervention services.
