Name of podcast: The Colorful Podcast Spot
Episode title and number: Episode 9: Gestalt Language Recap and Resources
Brief summary of episode: Join us as we recap our conversation
Samantha Shaffer and share some of our favorite resources
relating to gestalt language processing. We discuss ways for parents to decide when speech therapy or an SLP is or is not meeting their child’s needs, the difference between targeting gestalt language in a clinic versus in a school, and provide a brief overview of goal writing for GLPs. Listen as we discuss the importance of collaboration with GLPs, some of our favorite parent handouts for gestalt, and describe some of our favorite resources. We even share a “Miss Rachel” who targets gestalt language more specifically!
