Abilities in Action and Two Rivers Friends of Diverse Learners are excited to present an informative and empowering session on Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) — a natural, valid, and often misunderstood way that many children learn language. While most people are familiar with the analytic style of language development (single words → phrases → sentences), gestalt language processors learn through “chunks” or scripts before gradually breaking them down. Understanding this style helps families and educators better support communication growth and ensure appropriate referrals to speech-language professionals.


👩‍🏫 About the Presenter
Kelsie N. Teehan, M.S., CCC-SLP is an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with over eight years of pediatric experience. She has extensive training in Gestalt Language Processing and the integration of GLP with AAC systems. Kelsie is passionate about helping children find and use their voices—supporting them in expressing their wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas in ways that are meaningful and independent.


🎤 During this session, Kelsie will cover:
• What GLP is and how it differs from traditional language learning
• Signs that a child may be a gestalt language processor
• Practical strategies to support communication at home and in the classroom

✨ Our goal: To empower parents, caregivers, and educators to identify and support gestalt language learners early—so every child can reach their fullest communication potential.
