Practical Strategies for Gestalt Language Processors (AAC users too!) with Alex Zachos from Meaningful Speech

Practical Strategies for Gestalt Language Processors (AAC users too!) with Alex Zachos from Meaningful Speech

In today's episode, I chat with the fabulous Alex Zachos from Meaningful Speech, a senior speech language pathologist with 20 years of experience. Alex specialises in Gestalt Language Processing and has revolutionised how we understand and support language development using Marge Blanc's Natural Language Acquisition framework.

Alex shares practical tips for putting these theories into action when you connect with children who are GLPs, including how to support GLPs who are AAC users.

Alex and I would both love to hear your feedback and thoughts, so feel free to email me hi@playlearnchat.com or get in touch with us on Instagram – Alex is @meaningfulspeech and I'm @play.learn.chat
