"I liked the commentary and case studies." N.S. (July 2022)

"This was an Ah-ha moment for me that helped me understand how all language learners fit in! Break down gestalts into usable mix/match parts – non ASD kids use gestalts that sound like jargon and are usually able to break it down into component phrases or single words by the time they are intelligible, so we see those as “first words."

"The presenter appeared very knowledgeable about the content. I enjoyed that videos were included throughout the presentation as concrete examples. And stressing that therapy with these children is similar to play-based therapy for other children. It doesn't have to seem scary or overwhelming." M.N. (June 2022)

"Loved the assessment portion, the breakdown of stages and specifically the information about grammar and getting to single words. I like the content, and the fact that I could take it on my time." E.K. (July 2022)

"The background into the research that has already been done. I had not learned about this in graduate school, but I think it is so important as many of the students I have worked with seemed to have been gestalt language processors. I wish I had been taught this in graduate school instead of doing therapy that was just reinforcing gestalts and not offering opportunities for spontaneous language to occur." A.Y. (July 2022)

"I think understanding how the echolalia becomes mitigated and potentially how to use that more functionally during therapy will be beneficial." A.R. (July 2022)

"I absolutely loved every aspect of this course. In particular language foundation and the research articles. Case Examples too. I loved the course, was very flexible and beautifully explained by the presenter. Loved the pace and helped me rewind whenever I wanted to.

"Gestalt Language Processing or Natural Language Acquisition was not something I was readily taught in graduate school and I need this information for my NLA clients!  Marge followed her outline and visual supports well, and encouraged the participant that they could do it!"  S.S. (May 2022)

"This provided me insight into how to work w/ a young child on my caseload who presents w/ echolalia."  C.S. (May 2022)

"This course makes so much sense that I can't believe it's the first time I'm learning about this. Using these strategies has totally changed the way that I relate with parents and children who are gestalt language processors in my daily practice."  L.W. (May 2022)

"I really like this topic – it's been so eye-opening to helping me understand the language development profiles of my clients." E.C. (May 2022)

"ALL OF THE COURSE. IT'S AMAZING"  A.H. (Dec. 2021)

"I enjoyed the clear break down of each level of development. Thank you so much for outlining how to do the assessment and touching on how to begin treatment!  I'm finding it hard to say what I like best as it will all be so helpful. This is new for me as an SLP so all of the information presented will be so valuable."  L.C. (Nov. 2021)

"I find it encouraging that children can develop spontaneous language from echolalia. I liked that the course explained the different stages well so that it can also help with treatment goals"  N.G. (Nov. 2021)

"I was not aware of gestalt language processing before this course.  I liked the self-directed nature of it. The practical examples."  E.K. (Nov. 2021)

"The course was very informative. Good pace to follow along."  M.C. (Oct. 2021)

"The importance of collecting and analyzing a language sample, and scoring language utterances within the various stages, will be most beneficial. I think it will help me to focus intervention at the correct stage to meet my students where they are.  I appreciated the examples given, and the many resources provided for further study."  C.R. (Oct. 2021)

"Well-organized and about a topic that is not generally focused on in school/at conferences/in trainings"  K.C. (Oct. 2021)

I appreciated that the course was broken into chunks so that I could take breaks and absorb the information." D.M. (Aug. 2021)

"How to help my NLA children move through the stages of language development by properly assessing and treating them. The examples were very helpful. How the material was presented and backed by research." R.V. (Aug. 2021)

"Good explanation of how Gestalt Language Processors learn language differently and that echolalia is not disordered language acquisition. I liked the true examples of how gestalts are used to communicate different concepts/thoughts." C.D. (Nov. 2022)

"Learning about grammar and how to analyze appropriately (even though grammar is still silly ;D ). Course was easy to pace myself over time. It gave real examples. It was given from many perspectives (SLP, parents, etc.)." L.H. (Nov. 2022)

"I liked seeing Marge's wonderful therapy space." J.D. (Oct. 2022)

"Learning how to use gestalt first in therapy - I've always approached therapy from a play and sensorimotor premise. Seeing how to use gestalt to work backward to the single-word level makes complete sense now! Great videos. Marge is fun to watch and listen to." A.P. (Oct. 2022)

"Good examples and real-world cases. I liked the goals and targets for gestalt language processors." K.R. (Oct. 2022)

"Liked seeing the kids developing their language, the grammar section, the importance of self regulation, and that there is no limit for language if it is useful for the child." D.C. (Oct. 2022)

"I could pace myself, one class at a time, one session at a time, go back when I felt I did not understand the concept, taking time to process and implement the information." D.C. (Oct. 2022)

"I liked the client examples and references from other clinicians to their own learning through practice." S.A. (Oct. 2022)

"The course allowed me to learn at my own pace and take in information from current clients to apply. Liked the goals and how you integrate the goals into specific therapy." M.C. (Oct. 2022)

"The course was systematically presented. Learning the grammar development with respect to gestalt language processing was beneficial." A.H. (Sept. 2022)

"I loved learning more about the sensory techniques to help boost my speech sessions! Of course, learning about the gestalt language processing is why I came here too. :)" T.R. (Sept. 2022)

"It validated and put names to what I felt about working with children with autism. I have always believed in a play based language focus and I feel with all of this new research, it is validating."  D.B. (Sept. 2022)

"I very much enjoyed seeing client examples and video clips of the different types of gestalts. The video examples of the clients (especially Jez and Zoe) and clinicians helped NLA and gestalt language processing come to life! Additionally, I was happy to see the information about moving away from that traditional model of therapy and moving into a more neurodiverse-affirming, child led, and affirming interests, thoughts, feelings, and echolalia as unique beautiful parts of our clients. More and more clinicians, parents, and educators need to know more about this. Accepting our kids as they are, validating their ways of thinking, feeling, and communicating is life-changing!!"  J.B. (Sept. 2022)

"This course has been crucial to enhancing my therapy skills with GLPs. I liked the real life examples."  B.S. (Sept. 2022)

"Best continuing ed course I've ever taken!"  K.S. (Aug. 2022)

"Learning to listen carefully to scripting and to read between the lines (and talk to others on the team) to figure out the meaning was beneficial for my practice." M.M. (Aug. 2022)

"The entire course was very helpful. This gave me a structure of how to educate my co-workers about gestalt language and how to describe this best to families. The course will definitely help me with better goal writing and focusing more on mitigation and stage 3, when the kids are ready. The grammar section was great - I had no idea that you can introduce verbs too early, and this will be the biggest shift in my practice." E.K. (July  2022)

"I liked that I could take the course at my own pace." M.L. (July 2022)

"Highly applicable to supporting my students." L.W. (July 2022)

"Extremely detailed and informative. I liked all of the content." D.T. (July 2022)

"This course was enriching and inspiring." R.S. (July 2022)

"Oh my goodness. ALL of it. I wish that I had this all ten years ago. I knew the term gestalt and that some kids learned language as "wholes" but I never knew what to do with that information. The DST and DSS were also new to me (or maybe long forgotten?). This is a game changer in my work with autistic students!" S.C. (June 2022)

"I loved the videos of clinicians at work with kids." K.C. (June 2022)

"The section on sensory regulation was very helpful. It was also very useful to learn a bit about how AAC can be used with GLPs.  I loved how in-depth this course was. I also really appreciated all of the case studies/real-life examples." J.W. (June 2022)

"Big emphasis on relationship and connection was very well portrayed throughout." T.S. (June 2022)

"Everything was great! From the basics to the client videos and especially the parent perspective. I appreciated so much that Marge presented primarily from her speech center and not from behind a desk." S.L. (May 2022)

"I liked learning about the differences between gestalt and analytic language processors as well as employing more appropriate language strategies for gestalt language processors." S.L. (May 2022)

"I liked both the specific 'how to' of scoring the NLA and DSS, and also the more general perspective of respecting gestalt processors. The guest speakers helped break up the course." G.H. (May 2022)

"I liked the real life examples – seeing it in action is so much more beneficial than hearing what to do." K.M. (May 2022)

"I am astonished that I have been practicing for almost 25 years with this population and knew nothing about NLA. I liked Marge's easy, loving, joyful, sensory-filled approach to therapy. I began in a rehab center collaborating with OTs and PTs and have felt that it was right for my kids. I did not always get a lot of support even when that positive results were evident. Now, I have the validation and immediately added a trampoline and BIG JOE pillow to my not very big, but very fun playroom." K.K. (May 2022)

"I liked all of it, especially the information on moving into stage 3 and the grammar section with the DSS and DST." C.K. (May 2022)

"I liked the video examples and parent stories." H.J. (Apr. 2022)

"Enlightenment onto the importance of echolalia as acceptable, part of a child's development, and how vital they are for "connecting" to others.

"I liked the examples of how to mitigate at stage 3 - Marge's DSS chart." D.S. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked the developmental sentence scoring, and the ease of access of the course. " J.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I currently have a student with Autism and he is echolalic. I now have the knowledge to teach him language." D.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I loved all of it! Especially the grammar section." J.S. (Mar. 2022)

"I currently have a student who needs to begin to move from Level 2 to Level 3. This course was very helpful in helping me plan my therapy. I liked the content because it addressed treatment and gave many examples of techniques being used. I also liked that it was recorded and that I could work at my own pace." M.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked how to model gestalts that can be easily mitigated to move a child from stage 1 to stage 2." K.P. (Feb. 2022)

"I appreciated the deep dives into various specific cases to see different ways GLPs can sound and different ways NLA approaches can be implemented. I love REALLY picking apart language development, and this course went full speech nerd with me."  S.L. (Feb. 2022)

"I liked all of it – real life examples. It was perfect!." D.B. (Feb. 2022)

"There was soooo much in this course that will impact my practice. I am re-visiting the way I write goals for my gestalt processors and trying to follow the NLA skill progressions. It's amazing how much more engaged children are when I follow their lead and don't force artificial/unreasonable expectations (e.g., all the sentence strips).  I appreciated the video examples and the parent input."

"Level 3 of the NLA courses is a must for every SLP working with children who are gestalt language processors. Levels 1 and 2 allowed us to learn the NLA stages and guiding treatment principles. In this Level 3 course we learn how to individualize NLA intervention for specific clients with a host of differences, how and why to incorporate movement, and the power of grammar. Marge eloquently guides this course as we learn to tailor NLA intervention to meet the needs of real children and their families within meaningful and engaging contexts, ultimately fostering sincere and organic expression." C.H.

"With the background of knowing about NLA assessment and stages, the level three course gave me an understanding of how to incorporate this knowledge into treatment. I am able to set up an affirming environment for reciprocal, self-generated language without relying on frustrating techniques such as withholding items." E.F.

"Marge Blanc does it again! This course is a phenomenal in-depth deep-dive into all the areas the first two courses left you wondering about. We can truly wrap our heads around Stages 3 and 4, and it all makes so much sense! The case studies are incredible, and really help solidify and put into action all that Marge teaches. Every single pediatric SLP needs this information. It really should be required coursework in graduate school." A.Z.

I think that some issues that we frequently address on the floor (e.g., carrying out the SLP recommendations by staff members etc.) could be assisted by an ethics committee review so that it becomes an institutional discussion rather than a tug of war on the floor."  L.M.

This webinar brought up many of the questions I had concerning when to tube and when not to tube a child. The power point presentation was easy to follow.

The most interesting part that I learned was about the sense of taste and how bitter is sensed at the back of the tongue near the throat, and that poisons have a bitter taste. So it is as if we were innately made to safeguard against swallowing unsafe things like poison by reacting to the bitter taste and then gagging or spitting it out.

"This is one of the most relevant and highly useful courses that I have taken on this subject. Working in a school setting with intensive structured learning environments and ABA therapy being the trend, this course was extremely relevant as to why we need to move away from the prompted and structured discreet trial methods and focus on the social skills that will allow the child to think and process what he/she is taking in from the room. This is an area that I struggle with as ABA is becoming the above all type of treatment and in my opinion, taking away from the very social interaction skills that it believes it is training. Thank you for a relevant and useful course." M.K. (Jan. 2021)

These opportunities may even be more welcome, now, than if they were suggested during normal times as carry-over or family activities. It was reinforcing to the SLP and the efforts being made to provide services in a challenging time." A.H. (Dec. 2021)

The mindfulness techniques and video demonstrations were top notch; so helpful! And knowing now, how something so simple to integrate into therapy can be so drastically beneficial for our clients, is just incredible. Can't wait to try them all!"  S.R.B. (Aug. 2022)

I have been one that often just leaves it out of my note or feels like it needs to be a separate activity. I wholeheartedly believe in this practice and its benefits and feel so much more comfortable using it more openly with my clients.  I loved having evidence based practice and research to back up these practices.
