SUMMARY:Annual Visiting Scholars in Autism Research & Clinical Service Delivery Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Examining Gestalt Language Processing and the Natural Language Acquisition Protocol through the Lens of Evidence-Based Practice\nMay 12\, 2026\n5:30 p.m. PDT\nSAC 241\nAdd to Calendar\nFree Clockhours are available. \nLecture\nThe concepts of gestalt language processing (GLP) and the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) Protocol are popular and controversial in the field of speech-language pathology. This presentation will consider the extent to which specific aspects of GLP and NLA align with the three pillars of evidence-based practice: clinical expertise\, client perspectives\, and external and internal evidence. Discussion will center on clinical implications for working with young autistic children and their families. \nSpeaker\nCourtney E. Venker\, PhD CCC-SLP\nAssociate Professor at Michigan State University \nCourtney E. Venker is a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist and an Associate Professor in Michigan State University’s Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders. She is also the director of the Lingo Lab\, which is located in the Oyer Speech and Hearing Building on the Michigan State University campus.
