Do you want to better support your non-speaking, minimally speaking, or scripted communicators? This workshop is designed specifically for Speech-Language Pathologists who work with Autistic students and want to learn effective strategies for communication.  By the end of this training, you’ll feel confident in your understanding of the key stages of Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), an essential framework for supporting students who process language holistically. You’ll learn how to be an effective communication partner with GLPs, and how to assess and identify students who rely on delayed echolalia.  Additionally, this session will focus on best practices for utilizing and programming Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, helping you better support students in expressing themselves and engaging in meaningful interactions. This is a hands-on workshop—expect practical strategies, actionable tips, and ready-to-use handouts that you can apply in your practice right away. This is one professional development opportunity you don’t want to miss! Whether you’re new to GLP or already familiar, you’ll leave feeling empowered and equipped to make a real difference in the lives of your students.
