What if my GLP only likes songs?

2/13/2023

Many autistic children are gestalt language processors. Since they pick up on speech that is rich in intonation, it is no surprise that many of them LOVE songs.

... But what if all you are hearing is songs?

It is important to honour and validate those song gestalts, just as you would speech. We can model that different songs can be used for different things, such as "going up" or "going down". Check out how I use songs with my gestalt language processors in this vid.
