Available sessions
An introduction to Gestalt Language Processing: Supporting Delayed Echolalia through natural language acquisition.
Our on-demand, bite-sized training offers parents and education staff an accessible introduction to Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), sometimes referred to as delayed echolalia.
You’ll learn what GLP is, how it differs from more analytic language development, and why some children naturally acquire language in this way. We’ll explain the stages of gestalt language development in simple, practical terms, helping you to recognise and better understand the language you may hear from the children you support.
The training will also guide you in identifying when a child’s repeated phrases or “scripts” are meaningful attempts at communication, rather than just repetition. You’ll gain insight into the communicative purpose behind echolalia, and how to respond in ways that validate the child’s message.
This understanding can transform how you interpret language use, fostering more connection and reducing frustration for both adults and children.
Finally, the session provides practical strategies for supporting children at different stages of GLP.
Parents and staff will leave with simple, everyday techniques to encourage language growth and create supportive environments for communication. The aim is to build confidence and awareness, so that you feel equipped to celebrate each child’s unique way of learning and help them progress at their own pace.
How to support your non-speaking or minimally-speaking child/young person
This on-demand, bite-size training is designed to support parents and carers of non-speaking or minimally speaking children and young people. It introduces you to the many different ways children develop language and communication, helping you to understand that speech is only one form of communication. We’ll explore why some children may not be using spoken words yet, and how they may be learning and expressing themselves in other valuable ways.
You’ll learn about a range of communication methods beyond speech, such as gestures, facial expressions, body language, signs, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The training explains how these approaches can give your child a voice, reduce frustration, and support their overall development. We’ll also look at the differences in how children’s communication and language develops, so you can better recognise and celebrate your child’s unique progress.
Finally, the session offers simple, everyday strategies for creating a supportive communication environment at home and in the community. Parents and carers will leave with practical ideas that encourage interaction, strengthen connections, and ensure that every child feels understood and valued—no matter how they communicate.
Neurodiversity-affirming practice: How can we better support neurodivergent individuals?
This on-demand, bite-sized training introduces the key principles of Neurodiversity Affirming Practice and what it means to truly value and support neurodivergent individuals. Whether at home, in education, at work, or in the wider community, you’ll learn why shifting away from a “deficit” model towards a strengths-based approach makes such a difference. We’ll explore what neurodiversity means in everyday life and how small changes in attitude and practice can have a big impact.
The training highlights common experiences of neurodivergent people and helps you reflect on the environments and expectations that may create barriers. It also addresses the importance of intersectionality, recognising that neurodivergent individuals may experience overlapping identities and challenges related to race, gender, culture, or disability. You’ll gain practical ideas on how to reduce barriers and create spaces that are inclusive, respectful, and supportive for everyone.
Accessible to everyone, this session is designed to spark awareness, reflection, and positive action. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what it means to be neurodiversity affirming, and with practical steps you can use right away—whether you’re a parent, carer, educator, colleague, or friend.
A FREE SESSION ON:
WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
Wondering why your child's Speech and Language Therapist talks about "communication" rather than just "talking"?
In this free 25-minute training, we explain what communication really means — and why understanding this changes everything about how you support your child.
You'll discover all the ways your child is already communicating that you might not have noticed yet, and walk away with a more hopeful, more complete picture of their communication.
