// Speech Therapy for Decreasing Jargon and Echolalia:
Helpful for Children who are Gestalt Language Processors!

* PLEASE NOTE THAT GESTALT LANGUAGE PROCESSING IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO AN AUTISM DIAGNOSIS*

For more resources on GLP, visit MeaningfulSpeech.com

What does typical language development look like? Learning 1 word at a time, beginning with 1-5 words, increasing to 50-100 through single word acquisition, then combining 2 words together, and finally speaking in short sentences and answering questions (3-5 words and WHAT questions)

What does a child who is a Gestalt Language Processor look like?
Gestalt language processors learn language in chunks rather than one word at a time. These children learn phrases and then generalize those phrases to every time they have a similar experience or something that reminds them of that phrase. Instead of learning "dog," then "big dog" and finally "Wow! that's a big dog!" Gestalt Language Processors will hear a parent/tv show/song say this one to time, and then say that same phrase every time they see a dog! (vs. just saying "dog") This causes confusion because parents often times thing that a child is (receptively) understanding everything that they are saying, when in fact, their expressive language skills are presenting as much higher than what they actually understand.

As described in Natural Language Acquisition on the Autism Spectrum: A journey from Echolalia to Self-Generated Language (Marge Blanc, 2012), there are four primary stages of language development among gestalt language processors. They are summarized below.

The Six Stages of Natural Language Acquisition (Blanc, 2012)
Use of complete gestalts (or scripts) that are repeated directly back or reused later.
Ex: “Let’s get out of here.”  
Ex: “Want some more?”
1. ECHOLALIA
2. MITIGATED ECHOLALIA
3. ISOLATION OF THE SINGLE WORD
4/5/6.BEGINNING GENERATIVE GRAMMAR​​

//JARGON //

What is Jargon? Jargon is long strands of unintelligible speech, often followed by a single word that is understood and used appropriately. Ex: baklalakhg car!

Is Jargon typical in language development? YES. Jargon is typical between ages 12 months and peaks at 18 months, while decreasing until it has completed faded out and has been replaced by a combination of true words at age 2 (combining 2-3 words together).

When Jargon CONTINUES after 18-24 months, and when it is not directed towards a person in a communicative attempt, we begin to recognize that a child might actually be using a gestalt (or script). OR they simply do not have enough vocabulary to express what they are trying to say.

SO, HOW DO WE DECREASE JARGON and INCREASE VOCABULARY?

We PROVIDE and MODEL the words using the same pitch, intonation and syllable structure that they are using (i.e. "I see a red car!") to describe the experience or message that you think they are trying to relay! We also can SIMPLIFY their intended meaning by offering just 1-2 single words and directing the words TOWARDS a person using a shift/share attention approach (i.e. "LOOK! CAR!") to ENGAGE and attempt to communicate a message.

// ECHOLALIA:

What is echolalia? Echolalia is the repeating of words/phrases/questions/answers exactly the way it was presented. (i.e. "What do you want for lunch? Chicken or Ham?" Child: Chicken or ham," OR "yes or no?" "yes and no" OR "Bye Tommy!" Child: "Bye Tommy!") Echolalia can be immediate (happen right away) or it can be delayed (a child repeats something later on that was said earlier). Is Echolalia normal in language development? YES, it peaks at 30 months and decreases from 2.5 years to age 3, as a child learns to answer questions and make comments indepdently.

Jargon and Echolalia can be delayed in decreasing in a child with a speech delay.
