Outside Resources for Parents
Meaningful Speech
Their website is for anyone and everyone who is involved in supporting kids on their language development journey. It is their mission to educate you on gestalt language development and delayed echolalia.
Did you know there are TWO ways to develop language? Children who communicate with delayed echolalia (often called scripting) are gestalt language processors, not analytic ("typical") language processors. Their language development is a bit different and requires different language support. Both types of language development have the same final destination, though - flexible, original language!
