Gestalt Language Processors
Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) is a way some individuals, particularly children, learn language by memorizing and using chunks or “gestalts” of language rather than building sentences word by word. This method can be particularly common among children on the autism spectrum. They might learn phrases or sentences as whole units and then break them down into smaller parts over time.
Central Texas Therapy Spot provides services for GLP by focusing on helping these individuals by recognizing their unique way of processing language and supporting their development through specialized techniques. These services might include speech therapy, social skills training, and individualized learning plans that cater to the needs of gestalt language processors

Auditory Processing Disorder
Auditory Processing Disorder or APD is also known as central auditory processing disorder. Patients affected by this condition are not able to hear in the same way as others because their brain and ears don’t coordinate normally. There is something interfering with the way their brain interprets and recognizes sounds, particularly speech.
Central Texas Therapy Spot is honored to have Jilinda Robinson, a certified speech-language pathologist and certified auditory-verbal therapist, who has specific training from the Auditory Processing Institute to help treat APD.
