Ep. 114 Natural Language Acquisition & Gestalt Language Development with SLP Marge Blanc
In this episode, we're sitting down with Marge Blanc to trace the full history of Gestalt Language Processing and Natural Language Acquisition – from the earliest research, through Marge Blanc’s landmark 2005 case study, to the years of research that shaped the NLA framework used today.
On this episode, you'll learn:
- Where Gestalt Language Processing research began – and what the original findings actually showed
- How 15 years of research led to the Natural Language Acquisition framework
- What we’re beginning to learn about dual processors and why this matters clinically
- Why oversimplified summaries of GLP/NLA miss critical context for real-world practice
- And more!
