March 16, 2024 Speech Therapist Secrets Revealed: A Sister's Story Part 2 - Ep 16 - From The Ground Up
This is the second of a two-part interview with Chloe Cope of Cope Speech Therapy in New York City. Among other secrets revealed, they discuss Gestalt language processing, an approach that addresses language understanding and development, particularly in children with autism. Chloe explains how 'echolalia' or the repetition of phrases and sounds, often considered as vocal stimming, can be a precursor to a child developing functional speech. Calling the traditional bottom-up approach to speech into question, Chloe explores the idea of 'top-down' learning, where full sentences are gradually broken down into single words. Two successful use-cases are also discussed to provide a practical perspective. Recommendations are given for parents and therapists to identify and encourage Gestalt language processing for their child's progress.
