189 Your Child Is A Gestalt Language Learner? Uses Echolalia? 4 Tips To Help Expand Interactive Skills


Listen Later

Hey Friends~ 

Are you wondering  why your child echoes you?  Do they not really answer the question, but actually repeat what you say,  back to you?  This pattern of communication is indicative of a Gestalt Language Processor.   This pattern is common among kiddos with autism. Kids without autism  may also use this pattern of language, though it is most common in the very early years. 

How do you manage this? 

  • Always respond 
    • Be a sleuth - figure out what that echo might represent
      • Embrace their attempts to communicate
        • Understand this is a script
        • Listen in for examples and ideas for how to respond, what to look for, understanding the scripts, and how to increase your child’s  interactive language in supportive ways.

           

          Always cheering you on!
