Massive thanks to @SheridanForster for delivering a really informative and thought provoking presentation this morning to conclude our 'Gestalt Language Processing and Adults' CPD event. #GLP #gestaltlanguageprocessing #AdultID #GLPandID
Looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow morning at 9.30am for the second part of this study event with @SheridanForster
Huge thanks to Farwa Husain for a thought-provoking and accessible overview of Gestalt Language Processing, the Natural Language Acquisition Model and ideas about its application for adults! A really enjoyable 2 hours.
Farwa discussing how critical connection is in SLT support - ‘an individual needs to feel safe and connected for models to be effective’
Getting ready for today’s study day with Farwa Husain - looking forward to seeing everyone online and learning more about GLP from Farwa!
