Why Choose Our Gestalt Processing Care

Gestalt Processing Care requires specific expertise that many general practices may not possess; therefore, choosing a specialist is critical. Our service is deeply aligned with our core mission of "Connection over Compliance," ensuring that we respect and build upon the child's natural way of learning language. Our specialized focus on the autistic/neurodivergent population ensures that our therapists are highly trained in this methodology.

Key benefits of choosing us for Gestalt Processing Care:

  •  Specialized Methodology: We are experts in this specific language acquisition model, utilizing techniques that work with the Gestalt processor to promote flexible language use.
  • Authentic Communication: This approach is crucial for empowering neurodivergent learners to communicate in ways that are authentic, respectful, and self-directed.
  • Affirming Environment: We are committed to building meaningful and trusting relationships, honoring the child's individuality, and ensuring therapy is a low-stress, positive experience.

Gestalt-Focused Assessment: 

We conduct a thorough evaluation to confirm the child is a gestalt language processor and identify their current stage of language development (e.g., scripting, sentence mixing).

Frequently Asked Questions About Gestalt Processing Care

  • How does Gestalt Processing Care integrate with the Total Communication Approach?

    Gestalt Processing Care integrates perfectly with the Total Communication Approach because both are rooted in accepting and building upon the client's existing communication. If a child is a Gestalt processor, we utilize that as a strength, helping them transition from whole, memorized chunks to flexible, spontaneous language. If the child is also nonverbal or minimally verbal, we seamlessly integrate Augmentative Assistive Communication (AAC) therapy into the plan to ensure they can communicate their needs effectively as their language skills develop. This holistic approach ensures that every client has their communication potential met.



  • How do you support parents in understanding Gestalt Processing Care for home practice?

    Parent education is a crucial part of Gestalt Processing Care, as consistent language modeling at home accelerates progress. We maintain open communication throughout the process, clearly explaining the stages of gestalt language development and how to model appropriate language. Our therapists serve as an expert and educational resource, providing guidance on how to respond to and expand upon the child’s gestalts in a way that respects their Neurodiversity-Affirming journey. We view parents as essential partners in this collaborative model.

  • What is the typical progress timeline for Gestalt Processing Care for children in the Tomball area?

    Progress in Gestalt Processing Care for children in the Tomball area, or anywhere, is highly individualized and depends entirely on the child’s pace and stage of language development. Because we focus on developing programs tailored to each child, we refrain from making definitive promises about specific outcomes or timelines. However, after the initial assessment, an individualized plan of care will outline specific goals and expectations for guiding the child through the stages of gestalt language processing. We are committed to providing high-quality speech therapy services and continuously monitor progress through regular, open communication with the family.
