Have you heard of Gestalt Language Processing?    This is something that many SLPs don’t actually know a lot about but understanding it can make a huge impact on your students.  We have always been told to redirect echolalia, but kids that communicate that way are gestalt language processors, and it’s important to understand how to help them.    In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with Alexandria Zachos to talk about gestalt language processing and how you can incorporate this knowledge into your therapy practice.    Alexandria is a licensed speech-language pathologist in the state of Illinois and has been practicing since 2003.  Over the past eighteen years, she has provided therapy for all ages in a variety of clinical settings, including public schools, home therapy, acute care, rehabilitation hospitals, and outpatient clinics.    Tune in to learn more about what gestalt language processing is, therapy activities you can do with these students, how to collect data during these types of lessons, and so much more!    Full show notes available at www.speechtimefun.com/128   Resources Mentioned:  Check out Alexandria’s course and get the FREE handout: https://www.meaningfulspeech.com/ Follow Meaningful Speech on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meaningfulspeech/?hl=en Follow Meaningful Speech on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/meaningfulspeech/ Register for the Virtual Speech Retreat: https://speechtimefunpd.mykajabi.com/speech-retreat-recharge   Where We Can Connect:  Follow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slp-coffee-talk/id1497341007 Follow Hallie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speechtimefun Follow Hallie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpeechTimeFun/ Follow Hallie on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/missspeechie/Take advantage of this podcast exclusive deal for SLP Elevate - speechtimefun.com/podcastelevate
