NLA SLP REGISTRY
Here are the Communication Development Center Policies that we all probably agree on, because we care about our clients, potential clients, and their families. We want to remind everyone that we are not in competition with one another, rather as a team spreading our neurodiversity mindsets and providing Gestalt Language Processing and Natural Language Acquisition expertise with the world. We want potential clients to know who we are as professionals, but we don’t want to appear to be competing or end up competing with each other. We are all in this together, all learning, and all capable of learning more along with our clients and families, no matter how experienced or well educated we are.
We also presume that we are all SLPs, SLTS, SLPAS, CDAS, and not BCBAs and RBTs. We also presume that we are all ND-affirming, not compliance-based, use child-led therapy, are family focused, and acknowledge the principles of child development and the development of self-regulation.
Each of us is proud of the courses we’ve taken, readings we’ve done, in services we’ve provided in our school or clinic etc… but we’re not in competition with each other so our policy is to respect that our comment section reflects collegiality.
Here are some examples that might illustrate what families would be looking for:
- Autistic SLP, specializing in ND-affirming client and family support
- Multilingual; Indian subcontinent languages
- Extensive experience 18 months-18 years
- Experience with early childhood Stages 1, 2, and 3
- Experience with children 18 months-10 years
- Experience with older students up to 18-years
- Experience with all ages through early 20s
- Clinic-based and School-based experience and 2 NLA courses
- In-home experience after taking the Natural Communication course in Spanish
- Clinic-based experience with bilingual Hindi and English; completed Uncleft course
- Team-based services in ND-affirming Elementary School
- Currently taking the Natural Communication course after completing the Meaningful Speech course
- OT supported co-treatment with some of our clinic-based clients using NLA and sensory integrative strategies
- Actively learning about AAC supports for GLPs
- AAC experience with apraxic/dyspraxic individuals and GLPs University clinic-based services for ALPs and GLPs of all ages
- Remote services in underserved communities
- Providing virtual consultative services in these locations
Since our goal is to both reflect your practice as you want to reflect it and maintain the collegiality we mentioned earlier, we will contact you if we feel that an edit to your listing would better reflect those values.
Estas son las políticas del Centro de Desarrollo de la Comunicación con las que podemos acordar, pues sabemos que todos nos preocupamos por nuestros clientes, alumnos y sus familias. Queremos recordarle a todos que no estamos en competencia entre nosotros, sino que formamos un equipo que difunde nuestras mentalidades de neurodiversidad y proporciona al mundo experiencia en Procesamiento Gestáltico del Lenguaje y Adquisición Natural del Lenguaje (ANL). Queremos que cualquier persona que esté considerando recibir servicios de uno de nosotros sepa quiénes somos como profesionales, pero no queremos crear ningún tipo de competencia en el proceso. Todos estamos en esto juntos, todos aprendiendo y todos somos capaces de aprender más junto con nuestros clientes y familias, sin importar cuánta experiencia o educación tengamos.
También asumimos que todos somos terapeutas de lenguaje, logopedas, fonoaudiólogos, y no terapeutas conductuales (ABA). También asumimos que todos afirmamos la neurodiversidad sin basarnos en ningún tipo de conductismo, que usamos la terapia liderada por los niños, que nos centramos en la familia y que reconocemos los principios del desarrollo infantil y el desarrollo de la autorregulación.
Cada uno de nosotros está orgulloso de los cursos que hemos tomado, las lecturas que hemos hecho, los servicios que hemos proporcionado en nuestra escuela o clínica, etc… pero no estamos en competencia entre nosotros, por lo que nuestra política es respetar que nuestra sección de comentarios refleje nuestra colegialidad.
Aquí hay algunos ejemplos que podrían ilustrar lo que las familias estarían buscando en un proveedor de servicios que forma parte de este directorio:
- Terapeutas de lenguaje/logopedas/fonoaudiólogos autistas, especializados en el apoyo al cliente y a la familia, y que afirman la neurodiversidad
- Multilingües; incluyendo los idiomas subcontinentales de la India
- Amplia experiencia con personas de 18 meses-18 años
- Experiencia con las Fases 1, 2 y 3 de la primera infancia
- Experiencia con niños de 18 meses a 10 años
- Experiencia con estudiantes mayores de hasta 18 años
- Experiencia con todas las edades hasta principios de los 20 años
- Experiencia en el entorno clínico (clínica privada, centro, etc.) y escolar y haber completado 2 cursos de la ANL

- Experiencia clínica bilingüe (hindi e inglés); haber completado el curso de Uncleft
- Servicios con un equipo interdisciplinario en escuelas primarias que afirman la neurodiversidad

- Servicios clínicos (dentro de una universidad) para procesadores analíticos (PALs) y PGLs de todas las edades
- Servicios en comunidades remotas

Dado que nuestro objetivo es reflejar la práctica y servicios de cada profesional como cada uno quisiera hacerlo y mantener la colegialidad que mencionamos anteriormente, nos pondremos en contacto con ustedes/vosotros si creemos que una edición/corrección de su/vuestro perfil reflejaría mejor esos valores.
Families! We hope you have felt supported as you’ve read through our pages, and watched our videos…
But you might feel you’d like to partner with an SLP/SLT or other speech and language professional who is versed in gestalt language development and NLA. You are in the right place! Please check the Registry here; it changes weekly!
But if you don’t find someone here, please don’t worry. Many of us came upon NLA when we knew it was the right approach for a particular child. If that is your child, then you may need to look no farther than your current SLP; if both of you are willing, you can learn about NLA/GLP together!
