Why the Song Guide?
After working as a pediatric speech-langauge pathologist and serving clients with varied communication needs for over a decade, I finally learned how to best support gestalt language processors!! My passion for supporting GLPs grew so much, I started creating YouTube videos to reach kids far beyond the walls of my therapy room!
Playtime with Tor started with two main goals:
✔️ Model language that was relatable, practical, and supportive for gestalt language processors!
✔️ Teach and empower the grown-ups supporting them!
Everything you see in my videos is INTENTIONAL…from the language models, to the strategies, including the SONGS!
Knowing that many GLPs pick up songs as early gestalts, I got the idea of borrowing melodies of nursery rhyme songs and creating new songs that would include:
✔️ Language that would be useful for kids in every day situations
✔️ Phrases that would be easy to mitigate to support kids in moving through NLA stages
After hearing incredible feedback from both caregivers and professionals about how impactful my songs have been, and seeing how they were benefiting my own clients, I felt inspired to take it a step further!
I created the Playtime with Tor Song Guide to make it easier than ever to learn, consistently use, and share these songs. With this guide, you can:
✔️ Post songs around the house!
✔️ Share with other family members!
✔️ Share with families you work with!
Get everyone modeling for our musical GLPs in a way that’s meaningful to them!

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
“We love her in our house for our little GLP! Seriously! She has made such a difference for us and learning to verbally interact PROPERLY with our son and love that her videos are focused on different functional tasks and environments! I steal a lot of her gestalt examples verbatim and even sing her “buckle up” song each day. Many SLP's are not knowledgeable about this language acquisition type. What a wonderful thing she is doing for our community. “
“I wanted to send you a giant THANK YOU for all your videos on gestalt language learning on YouTube. My SLP has said my son is the "poster child for gestalt language learning" and he really is! He uses all your songs to communicate with me! Your videos have helped us grow his speech and learn more about communicating with him! He watches your videos all the time and finds the right videos for what ever task it is he wants to do! It's life changing! Thank you so much for contributing to his development!”
“You're making such a wonderful difference in the world, and I just wanted you to know that! Your YouTube videos have made such a profound difference in our toddlers speech. You have inspired her to take on so many of your scripts and to mitigate them in so many ways every day. I can't thank you enough. I've learned so much through you and how I should be modeling speech.”
