Gestalt Language Therapy Program

Here at Esperanza Speech and Occupational Therapy Centre in Dubai, we offer a special approach to helping with language development called Gestalt Language Therapy. What makes this therapy unique is that it recognizes how some people understand language best through whole, meaningful chunks or phrases, rather than just single words. It also really emphasizes how important the rise and fall of someone’s voice – their intonation – can be in understanding what they mean.
Who Benefits from Gestalt Language Therapy?

Gestalt Language Therapy can be particularly helpful for individuals who:

  • Tend to understand language in larger chunks or phrases, often picking up entire “gestalts” from things like songs, books, movies, or even really strong emotional moments.
  • Might find it tricky to break those bigger chunks down into smaller, individual words or parts of language.
  • Often have a very distinct way of speaking with lots of intonation, where the pitch of their voice can go up and down quite a bit, sometimes making their communication sound almost musical.
Our Approach to Gestalt Language Therapy at Esperanza

Esperanza’s Gestalt Language Therapy program integrates a variety of therapeutic methods to promote language development:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Our team conducts detailed assessments, including spontaneous language samples and the Natural Language Acquisition framework, to understand each person’s language acquisition style.
  • Individualized Intervention Plans: We create client-centered therapy plans that use child-led techniques, focusing on the individual’s unique language processing needs.
  • Flexible Communication Styles: Our program supports a range of communication methods, including gestures, AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), singing, and sign language, allowing each person to find their most effective communication style.
