This might be for you if...

  • Your child is seeing speech therapists
  • You've been told your child is a Gestalt Language Processor
  • Your child repeats phrases from movies, books, or conversations
  • Direct questions often get silence or a scripted response
  • You've heard terms like 'echolalia' or 'scripting'
  • You're on a waiting list for speech therapy

We understand

The gap between sessions is
the hardest part.

Words Don't Land

You've explained it perfectly. They still don't get it. The format just doesn't match how they learn.

  • When it's clinical

    The app knows its limits. Medical questions get redirected to your specialist, with an auto-generated Appointment Note.

Who we are

Built by parents. For parents.

I'm Tim. Our daughter Olivia was born in May 2020, right in the middle of COVID lockdowns. By four, she was diagnosed as a gestalt language processor.

We built every feature in Gestalts because we needed it ourselves. The Storybook exists because a picture story worked when verbal instruction didn't. Memories exists because we were told to "write things down" and kept losing our notes. The Companion exists because some nights are hard and no one's awake.

We're not speech therapists. We're parents who built tools to survive the hours between sessions. What helped us might help you.

FAQ

Common Questions

About Gestalt Language Processing

Gestalt language processing (GLP) is a natural way some children acquire language. Instead of learning word by word, they learn in "chunks" or whole phrases, often from TV shows, songs, or things they hear around them.

It's not a disorder. It's just a different path to language, and research suggests up to 84% of autistic children are gestalt processors (Blanc, 2012).

Only a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist can properly assess your child's language development. What we can say is that many parents notice things like:

  • Their child repeats phrases from movies, books, or conversations
  • Direct questions often get silence or a scripted response
  • Their child speaks in "chunks" rather than building sentences word by word

If this sounds familiar, it's worth raising with your speech therapist.

About the App

No. Full stop. Gestalts is a companion to your therapy journey, not a substitute for it.

Your Speech-Language Pathologist brings the expertise. We help you arrive prepared, implement their strategies more consistently, and feel less alone during the hard moments.

Most speech apps focus on word-by-word learning or AAC. They weren't built for gestalt processors.

Gestalts is the first app designed specifically around how GLP children actually learn. Our tracking is built around gestalts and stages, not just vocabulary lists. Our coaching understands the NLA framework.

Absolutely. In fact, that's one of the reasons we built it.

Gestalts helps you use that time productively: learning about GLP, trying strategies at home, tracking what you notice, and building a record you can share when you finally get in.

Privacy & Safety

Yes. We built Gestalts with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought.

  • Your data is encrypted with AES-256, the same standard used by banks
  • Everything is stored in Australian data centres
  • We don't sell your data to anyone, ever
