What is the latest evidence on #GLPNLA #GestaltLanguageProcessing and #NaturalLanguageAcquisition in autism with minimally or non-speaking children or adults?

If it works, why are there no papers months after our review?

Do you know of any studies?

SOME things that go along with #GLPNLA
1. Claims of hyperlexia
2. Claims of hypernumeracy
3. Claims they need whole literacy not phonics
4. Underestimates the child’s ability to acquire language single words or answer questions (at odd with claims of presuming competence)
5. Pushing FC/S2C (hazard)

Looking forward to keeping the conversation going on #GLPNLA in this one.

Come and listen first hand to the story of our systematic review, echolalia, and AAC in #GestaltLanguageProcessing

I am doing this, as usual, for no fee.
I obtain no financial benefit by teaching people about our review.

We now know (as a result of our new review search in Jan) of a treatment research study on #GLPNLA completed in 2024 and the supervisors of the project have refused our request to the library to read it.

Why?

What did it show?

Me and the 18k readers of our systematic review would love to know!!

Does #GLPNLA intervention only work if the therapist believes it can work?

Does it work if the therapist is skeptical?

Would you blame the therapy for relying upon beliefs, or blame the therapist for being skeptical and therefore the cause of any failure in progress?

How are beliefs measured?

We have had such fun looking for all the #GLPNLA literature lately for our meta narrative review!! I have yet another book arriving soon 🔜

This is interesting, thanks Amanda! Useful for @lucyebryant.bsky.social and I too re language development / support / therapy / training for #GLPNLA

Views on Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) and Natural Language Acquisition (NLA)

🙏Thanks Claire! No I do not. <Ping>> 🌎 Colleagues in CAN🇨🇦US🇺🇸IE🇮🇪NZ🇳🇿ZA🇿🇦DE🇩🇪NL🇳🇱SG🇸🇬 AND THE WORLD! We'd love your views on #GLPNLA if you're an SLP SLT OT #clinicalpsych #edpsych #behavioranalyst HCP AHP allied health assistant/aide, teacher, teaching assistant. redcap.research.uts.edu.au/surveys/?s=W...

Have you studied the harms of ABA, for any leads on research where the harms are associated with the use of ABA in teaching AAC? Or causal links?

Thanks in advance, it may help interpret and validate any claims made in relation to #GLPNLA AAC teaching/modelling avoiding harms of ABA #SLPBCBA #BCBA

People still leaning on the EBP Triangle - to justify ignoring absence of research ➡️ when there is no research, clinicians in Australia are mandated to collect their own clinical data for the Clinician Evidence side of the triangle. Data on input (treatment) and data on outcome (measures).
