• Recognizing the Signs How to identify echolalia, scripting, and delayed gestalts as meaningful communication rather than behavior to redirect.
• The Natural Language Acquisition Stages An overview of the stages gestalt language processors move through on the way to self-generated, flexible language.
• Supporting GLP in the Classroom Practical strategies for responding to scripts and gestalts, modeling language, and avoiding approaches that suppress communication.
• Collaborating with Speech-Language Pathologists Questions to bring to the IEP team so classroom practice and speech services reinforce the same communication goals.
