KIDDIBOPS

If your child seems to learn and use language a little differently — for example, they’re not speaking yet, they repeat lines or phrases out of context, they prefer sharing facts instead of using back-and-forth conversation, or they love playing with the same toys in the same way (like lining things up) — this workshop could be perfect for you.

Many children who are fascinated by letters, numbers, or planets and show these patterns of play are what we call Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs) — they learn language in a unique, holistic way.

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll discover how Gestalt Language Processors learn differently from Analytical Language Processors (ALPs). Understanding this can completely transform how you teach, play, and connect with your child. You’ll gain the tools to advocate for their learning needs and help them truly thrive.

Most autistic children are Gestalt Language Processors, which is why traditional teaching methods often don’t quite fit. Their way of learning isn’t wrong — just different. GLPs are often deeply attuned to music and may have incredible musical memories. I’ll show you how to harness these natural strengths to support your child’s language and brain development, especially when other approaches haven’t worked.
