Gestalt language processing is a different way of learning and acquiring language. However, this way of developing language is common, natural, and valid! Gestalt Language Processors initially assign an overall “feeling” to a word, phrase, or sentence. These learners often focus on the intonation of language instead of the individual words. These words, phrases, and sentences are called “gestalts.” These gestalts are commonly known as “echolalia” or “scripting.” A child often begins by imitating whole phrases they hear in their environment, including media (T.V. shows, songs, etc.). For example, a gestalt language processor might use “ready, set, go” to express that they want to go outside. Important note: The language we model is not a gestalt - it’s just our language! Stage 1 gestalts are individual to the child. These phrases are not meant to be explicitly “taught”. Rather, they can be utilized to help caregivers and therapists learn how to model language during play. This 12-page handout packet includes examples of stage 1 gestalts for a variety of routines and play activities. Great for therapists or parents looking to model a wider variety of gestalts. Handouts come in both a color and printer-friendly version, and are great for hanging on the fridge as a daily reminder. Stage 1 gestalt topics include: -meal time -bath time -potty -transitions -bedtime -brushing teeth -getting dressed -TV time -farm toys -blocks -cars -play-doh -magnatiles -letter/number play -books -songs -peek-a-boo -tag/chase -tickles -rough play -self-advocacy -peer interaction -sick/hurt -greetings/farewells

The DBT House is a framework in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that allows clients to explore their inner world. This “inner world” — which includes their values, emotions, hopes, and coping strategies — is represented by a specific room or level of their metaphorical house. The DBT House Worksheet is an art-based activity that features two drawings of a house, and both houses have different sections or rooms. One drawing asks questions that serve as prompts for the client to explore an aspect of their life, while the other drawing lets them write down their answers. For example, the question “What values govern your life?” in the foundation of their DBT house might be answered with “courage and authenticity.” As kids and teens complete this activity, they can increase their self-awareness, which leads to improved emotional regulation and healthier relationships. If your child needs help identifying coping strategies for the chimney of their DBT house, this DBT Coping Skills bundle will give them ideas. *This item is an instant digital download.
