Gestalt Language Processing, Natural Language Acquisition & the State of Research with Marge Blanc
In this episode, I had the absolute joy of chatting with Marge Blanc about Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) and Natural Language Acquisition (NLA). Marge has spent over 50 years supporting children’s language development, and her openness and curiosity have shaped so much of what we know today. We discuss how paying close attention to children’s unique communication and interactions can inform how we support them.
We cover these areas and more:
• Key terms - Marge defines GLP, ALP, and NLA
• History and shifts in our understanding of GLP and NLA
• The state of research and the various forms that our 'evidence' can and should take
• Research gaps and future directions
• Responding to critics of NLA and GLP
• Simple and deeply important strategies to support Autistic children - for parents and professionals
---
This episode is an insightful overview of 'where we've been and where we're going'... and my deep overt admiration for Marge’s work! Whether you’re a speech therapist, educator, or parent, you’ll come away inspired to support Neurodivergent children in meaningful, individualised ways.
Marge and I would both love to hear your feedback and thoughts, so feel free to email me hi@playlearnchat.com or get in touch with us on Instagram - Marge is @blancmarge and I'm @play.learn.chat
