Language development is a complex and multifaceted process that varies significantly among individuals. Among autistic children, gestalt language development is one notable and often misunderstood form of language acquisition. This approach, where children learn language in whole chunks or phrases, contrasts sharply with the analytic language development seen in neurotypical children. Unfortunately, gestalt language has historically been pathologized, with interventions aimed at reducing or eliminating its use. This article aims to provide a detailed understanding of gestalt language development, offer practical strategies for teachers, and advocate for a neurodiversity-affirming approach that validates and supports this natural form of communication. This article is based on the study "Embracing gestalt language development as a fundamental neurodiversity-affirmative practice" published in May 2024.
