Listen to our amazing Roberta Mackey (ep2) describe GLP (Gestalt Language Processing) and how it transforms understanding for both parents and children.

In this powerful and insightful talk, Roberta Mackey beautifully explains Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) a way of understanding how some children, especially autistic children, develop language in chunks or “scripts” before breaking them down into meaningful, flexible speech. She shares how recognising and supporting GLP allows parents to truly tune in to how their child communicates, reducing frustration and increasing connection. For children, being understood through a GLP lens means their natural language journey is honoured and supported not corrected or redirected. It’s a compassionate, empowering approach that helps children feel safe, heard, and celebrated.
