This form is suitable for use with any child (analytic or gestalt language processors) and can be used for:
Initial intake
Progress tracking
Information gathering at any point
Educating caregivers about communicative functions
Determining and discussing therapy objectives with families
This inventory can help to provide clues as to how a child is processing language when it is initially unclear. While this form can be used for analytic and gestalt language processors, it is especially helpful for assessing early stage gestalt language processors. It allows us to easily see if a child has enough variety in stage 1 (gestalts) and stage 2 (mitigations) before moving onto to stage 3! This is highly important as it ensures a child has a solid foundation and is set up for future success!
