Echolalia isn’t something to “fix.” It’s a meaningful and important step in language development, especially for autistic children and gestalt language processors (GLPs). In this course, bilingual and neurodiversity-affirming SLP Farwa Husain, MS, CCC-SLP, explains what echolalia really is and how to support it with confidence and care.
You’ll explore the six stages of the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework and learn how both immediate and delayed echolalia serve a valuable role in communication. Farwa connects current research to real-world examples, helping you understand how to recognize and support each stage in your day-to-day work.
The course includes practical, easy-to-implement strategies that can be used across settings, including early intervention, schools, and private practice. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of gestalt language processing and the tools to help your clients move toward flexible, self-generated language while honoring their unique communication journey.
