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.
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!
