Show Notes
Gestalt language processing and Natural Language Acquisition are topics that have received a great deal of attention in recent years, grounded in research that goes back to the 1970s. These concepts have helped to explain and describe a process, often observed in autistic children and other children who move from the early use of echolalia to the use of self-generated conversational language. Marge and Alex join Barry in a discussion of the history and current status of understanding children who demonstrate these patterns of language acquisition, in order to assist professionals and parents in supporting such children.
