When Models Aren't "Sticking" - A One-Day Intensive for Supporting Minimally Speaking GLPs

 

Feel like you’re spinning your wheels with a minimally or non-speaking gestalt language processor? You’re modeling, staying regulated, following their lead—but the gestalts aren’t emerging, or the child is not progressing through the NLA stages, and you’re left wondering what to do next.

This 4-hour, live deep dive with Katja Piscitelli is designed to bring you clarity, direction, and real-world strategies to support communication growth in GLPs who aren’t fitting the typical NLA patterns.

Whether you’re an SLP, educator, or caregiver, this intensive will give you the tools and confidence to move forward—even when speech feels stuck.

What You’ll Learn:

- How to identify dyspraxia in autistic children - it's not always obvious!

- Tailoring NLA supports for GLPs with suspected apraxia or dyspraxia

- Using motor speech intervention in a child-led, neurodiversity-affirming way

- How to apply Marge Blanc’s Hierarchy of Dyspraxia Supports

- How to determine a minimally speaking child’s NLA stage—even when it's not obvious

- Why "modeling without expectation" sometimes doesn’t “stick,” and what to try instead

- How to tailor AAC systems for gestalt processors and those with motor planning challenges
