"Discussion in sensory integration and its importance for this population. I liked all of the parent reports and video examples." S.M. (Sep. 2023)

"I liked the breakdown of the different stages and the emphasis on connection. And I liked the personal examples." D.G. (Sep. 2023)

"Emphasis on really listening to what kids say and using different lenses/approaches to evaluate their utterances. Also, the idea that when one approach isn't working to try the other for awhile and watch for the response. The videos of the kids and testimonies of their parents were great!" L.T. (Sep. 2023)

"The media scripts having more in depth personal meanings was beneficial. I liked the story components related to the child and his mom." N.R. (Sep. 2023)

"This course was very helpful in describing the STAGES of NLA and the use of DSS. It will allow me to approach my GLP learners from a "connection" perspective and natural language models rather than solely prompted models. This will allow me to meet the students where they're at and continue to move them forward with their grammatical development and meaningful, self-generated utterances!" M.D. (Sep. 2023)

"The grammar part brought me back to why we do need to consider development once students reach stage 3 and beyond. I enjoyed the different perspectives of other parents/professionals. I liked how it was broken down into modules." H.P. (Sep. 2023)

"Very practical. Real. I can apply this EBP information in real time and in an authentic manner to afford the greatest language learning opportunities for my GLPs." M.D. (Sep. 2023)

"Discussion pertaining to grammar was beneficial, as well as the discussion pertaining to sensory regulation. I liked that I could follow along with the presentation and the test." S.C. (Aug. 2023)

"I enjoyed hearing from the practicing SLPs in the schools with realistic application and examples. I liked the personal stories and insight from different perspectives." K.H. (Aug. 2023)

"The discussion of grammar and DSS analysis is what I most needed from this course! The rest was good information and discussion. I liked the review of DST/DSS." K.G. (Aug. 2023)

"I benefited from this entire course. The information about acknowledging gestalts and responding appropriately to gestalts was very important. The information about potential goals and ways to encourage mitigation was very helpful. I enjoyed the information presented by Marge Blanc, the parents, and the SLPs. I enjoyed the video clips a great deal." L.S. (Aug. 2023)

"The following confirmed some thoughts of my own: I'm always telling staff that a child is communicating something whether it is through words, behavior, gestures etc. Relationship with students is of the utmost importance if true progress is to be made. This course has helped me add a new perspective to hidden meanings in echolalia and how it may be used to build communication pathways for some students." A.B. (Aug. 2023)

"In-depth information! Wonderful revelations I've never been exposed to before. It was beneficial discussing and understanding the meaning of echolalia and gestalts and guiding patients toward acceptance and mitigation." A.B. (Aug. 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. This course isn't facts thrown at the learner. It offers the research, practice, and human stories in multiple formats (written, spoken, video, pictures, interviews, etc.) from the parent, clinician, and client perspectives." R.G. (Aug. 2023)

"Actual examples of how to model language with students who are GLPs. I liked the real life videos and examples. And how much Marge, the parents, and her colleges cared for the children." O.P. (Aug. 2023)

"The treatment videos and videos of parents talking about their children and direct therapy results/interpretations were beneficial. Course had a lot of practical application, was not heavy on theory, but did reference evidence-based theory." L.W. (Jul. 2023)

"The parental input was great!" C.S. (Jul. 2023)

"The hidden messages in scripting and reference to actual stories in this regard were my favorite. I liked the relevance of this course to practice and the case examples got me thinking about interactions I have had with my clients who are most likely GLPs." M.K. (Jul. 2023)

"The details, developmental sequence, and the role of grammar in NLA were beneficial. I liked the video examples and the client-centered approach. Also, the role of sensory integration with regards to NLA." S.W. (Jul. 2023)

"I liked the topic of acceptance of neurodiversity with educators in public school systems." K.K. (Jul. 2023)

"I always enjoy the case studies the most. You are amazing, Marge! I liked that I could work on course at any time, and that the video player remembered where I was in the lecture." L.C. (Jul. 2023)

"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 liked that I was able to print off the test and could answer questions as I went through the course. I also loved the stories and videos, which helped me to understand the process better." J.E. (Jul. 2023)

"Following student's leads, the meaning in the student's gestalts and deciphering the secret messages in their language were beneficial topics." J.S. (Jul. 2023)

"I liked the breakdown of what each stage can look like and appreciated the DST and DSS information. I liked that there were several different video examples." F.G. (Jul. 2023)

"Examples of therapy and reading the written out utterances were beneficial." S.K. (Jul. 2023)

"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)

"Course was extremely comprehensive... lots of information. I really loved the section on the Hidden Messages in Scripting." L.G. (Jun. 2023)

"I liked the topics presented by Dr. Elizabeth Torres relating to self-exploration and self-discovery as well as the importance of sensory integration and co-regulation. I loved the embedded videos of actual clients communicating and the interviews with Linda and Dr. Torres." M.L. (May 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)

"The topic on collaborating with OT was beneficial. This changed the way I think about sensory integration." H.M. (May 2023)

"Sensory integration and communication availability were beneficial topics." K.S. (May 2023)

"All of it! There was a good balance of theory, case studies, and examples of how to implement therapy techniques." J.F. (Mar. 2023)

"I liked all of it, especially the stories related to specific kids and adults. I liked the dialogue between Marge and the mothers and the stories of new revelation." L.H. (Mar. 2023)

"In-depth course. Taught in detail on a topic that is a mystery to most SLPs. This course was excellent in teaching me how to refine my student's gestalt language stage from echolalia to mitigations to effective communication." A.R. (Mar. 2023)

"Information about using DSS with our GLP students was beneficial." J.D. (Mar. 2023)

"I loved the whole course. Marge is so passionate about NLA and has given me the excitement and tools to continue to support my students with NLA. The discussion between Linda and Marge was great in that it demonstrated the joining of ideas between the SLP and the parent. This stresses the importance of building a community with parents in order for establishing trust which then leads to progress. I liked getting the multiple perspectives from parents, SLPs, OTs, students, and educators." K.R. (Mar. 2023)

"I liked the information about GLP and the videos of children. DSS and DST to know what to model at each stage." S.H. (Feb. 2023)

"I learned how to acknowledge echolalia and where to go from there. The videos with examples were beneficial." B.M. (Feb. 2023)

"All of the examples of children using delayed echolalia were extremely beneficial. The idea that these scripts are meaningful is so important.

"I loved the section on hidden messages. The videos were wonderful, especially when we saw the same patient over time." J.D. (Feb. 2023)

"I enjoyed the discussions surrounding all of the clients. I especially liked hearing from the parents. There was SO much to take in that it was nice to be able to pause, return to specific parts, and resume. I loved all of the videos!" A.E. (Feb. 2023)

"I liked the videos of clients, examples of language samples, and how to analyze them. Learning how to better support my clients who are advancing to higher stages of NLA development." C.R. (Feb. 2023)

"This entire course will be beneficial for my daily practice. Understanding gestalt language development will be essential for supporting my gestalt language processors and educating families and educators to better understand language development with autistic individuals. I love how Marge included families and other professionals in her course and shared stories of her clients." A.J. (Feb. 2023)

"Course was excellent. Wish I had had this course when I was a student!!" M.B. (Jan. 2023)

Stages of NLA, treatment approaches for these children, sensory information, and discussion of rote skills taught and the impact that could have with their flexible use of language." S.H. (Jan. 2023)

"Examples of scoring and mitigation were beneficial. I liked the stories and examples, the hope." S.C. (Jan. 2023)

"Examples and videos of actual children and therapy sessions were very helpful. Reading about NLA and trying to apply it to my therapy sessions was difficult at first. After watching the videos and hearing about "real" kids and therapists, I felt much more confident. This course definitely helped me to really grasp the big picture." J.S. (Jan. 2023)

"I just love learning everything and anything I can about NLA and gestalt language learners. NLA is completely changing my therapy with all of my clients. It's amazing! It's like...YES! This is it. This makes so much more sense than what I was trying to do before!" J.S. (Jan. 2023)

"I loved all the parent and client perspectives. I feel like this is missing from many courses I've taken! In daily practice, this reminds me to always value the family's goals and vision." A.L. (Jan. 2023)

"Marge's LOVE for her clients is so evident." E.S. (Dec. 2022)

"I absolutely loved this course and I learned so much! I loved how this course was organized and presented. Marge speaking on video from her clinic, conversations between Marge and Linda (loved listening to and watching Linda!), other conversations/interviews, sharing of so much important and relevant information which was clearly and thoroughly explained, and videos of the kids. Thank you!!"💜 K.D. (Dec. 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)

"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)

"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. Seeing the PASSION in of all the therapists when doing their job, when connecting with their clients...the passion to succeed in communicating with ASD kiddos and adults." A.B. (Mar. 2022)

"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." 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.
