Module 3: Gestalt vs. Analytical Language: How it impacts language

Module 3

Overview of Course

Join us in Module 3 to discover the key differences between Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) and Analytical Language Processing. For years, speech therapy has solely focused on analytical language processing, but we're here to introduce a new approach that will support your child's natural language acquisition and enhance meaningful communication regardless if they are ALP or GLP.

GLP is a revolutionary language development method that starts with memorized phrases "gestalts", rather than individual words. By focusing on the most common phrases, learners are able to build up their language skills more efficiently and effectively.

On the other hand, Analytical Language Processing follows a more traditional bottom-up approach where learners start with individual words and work their way up to forming phrases, sentences, and conversations.

Explore these two approaches with us and learn new strategies and techniques to optimize your child's language development.

Gestalt vs. Analytical Language Acquisition

Understanding Natural Language Acquisition

Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) is a language development approach that begins with memorized phrases instead of single words. Our language is typically constructed word by word until we achieve our intended meaning. However, GLP flips the script by focusing on the common phrases that make up the majority of our language.

On the other hand, Analytical Language Processing takes a more traditional approach where children start by learning individual words, which they then combine to form phrases, sentences, and conversations. This bottom-up approach is known as analytic language processing and has been widely utilized in language learning.
