"It was beneficial to look at gestalt processing rather than analytic processing at each stage, and also discuss that delayed echolalia is not disordered speech. Stage 3 of NLA is important because that is the natural stage when gestalt language processors realize the power that comes from referencing single words and putting their own words together. I enjoyed the therapy clips and real language samples, and the testimony from parents." N.H. (Feb. 2024)

"All of this course was beneficial! A very comprehensive discussion of NLA, including recommendations for our Stage 3 processors. I enjoyed the video examples and interviews." S.P. (Jan. 2024)

"I liked the breakdown of grammar structures. This course was rich with real-life examples." E.F. (Dec. 2023)

"A deeper understanding beyond what my own research taught me over the last 15 years. I always was fascinated by gestalt language learning and this course gave me a whole new perspective on typical development on the NLA framework. My own son is Autistic and is a gestalt language learner. At 12 he has taken me through every stage right along with him and is the reason I even had a clue how to approach gestalt language and echolalia when I first learned about it. I liked being able to go back and forth with the modules and being able to keep them in my account to rewatch as needed." L.B. (Dec. 2023)

"The understanding of Gestalt language and its non-literal meaning. Marge was an amazing speaker." A.S. (Dec. 2023)

"The whole idea of Gestalt Language Processor was beneficial. I have been thinking that children with Autism were using scripts to communicate, and they wanted to be a part of conversations, so they quoted scripts. This course confirmed this and also opened my eyes to the power of the child choosing movie clips to communicate. Also, it has changed the way I have approached therapy. The first child told me thank you for playing with me. They valued that so much. One child was going to be dismissed from lack of progress, and she began to make eye contact and engage with me. She even tried to feed me during play." M.S. (Aug. 2023)

"All sections add relevant information for anyone who knows, loves, or works with a gestalt language processor. Discusses "why" and importance and significance of the impact of proper, in-depth understanding of echolalia and gestalt language processing and natural language acquisition.

"The entire course as a whole helps to restore humanity. You can't discuss NLA without also acknowledging that we need to be more finely tuned into the fact that our echolalic students have been communicating this whole time. This course doesn't just offer information but a new perspective on humanity. It has encouraged me to slow down and appreciate all that our students say and all they are. It is so tempting (in the name of financial survival) to go about the day's scheduled sessions with goals and agendas in mind... without stopping to smell the roses (appreciating our students and how they think)." R.M. (Jul. 2023)

"This Level 3 course I found to be the most informative and helpful. I really liked this course so much, that I purchased the book as well.

"I enjoyed all of it and found specifics to therapy and goal writing particularly helpful. I also liked hearing from parents." B.C. (Jun. 2023)

"So much was beneficial. Two things stand out: 1. Deepen my listening to understand the meaning in the gestalts. 2. Use language sampling routinely in practice with NLA in students with echolalia. I also liked the stories from parents and SLPs." K.A. (Jun. 2023)

"Reminder that gestalt processing individuals have a lot to communicate if we are listening. I liked the humanity presented by talking about each child's unique abilities and personalities that came out more as they were able to communicate more." T.H. (Jun. 2023)

"Section 4 was very helpful. It helped me understand NLA Stage 3 (and 4) much better." M.G. (May 2023)

"The explanation of how to score language samples so that progress can be documented was helpful. Also, seeing the examples of the clinician working with the child and the responses she used in response to what the child has said was also helpful in understanding how to incorporate this method with my students." L.H. (May 2023)

"This course was well presented with many examples of the children that this approach has been used with. Seeing their progress helps us better understand how this approach can help them." L.H. (May 2023)

"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.

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)

"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 – 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." D.M. (Jan. 2022)

"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.

"The entire presentation was helpful, especially the portion about showing and using empathy in our words and actions because I know how it feels when my loved ones talk to me without empathy and what that feels like (not very good) and don't want my students to feel that way.
