It can be hard to find the time to read a systematic review research paper, so why not listen instead. Our podcast on a systematic review of #GestaltLanguageProcessing #NLA out now, and full paper coming soon
bronwynhemsley.bsky.social Bronwyn Hemsley @bronwynhemsley.bsky.social · Dec 8
We’ve had pleasing indirect feedback on this podcast for explaining the steps of a systematic review - it might help clinicians in other topics do it themselves.

If more clinicians knew how/why, we may see stronger implementation of research-backed therapy.

🦋 #bskySPEECHIES
It has recently been suggested that GLP/NLA intervention be embraced as a neurodiversity-affirmating practice (Haydock et al., 2024).(Neurodiversity refers to the idea that people interact in many different ways and that a difference is not a deficit to be fixed.) Some aspects of GLP/NLM intervention, such as embracing autistic communication, are consistent with neurodiversity. However, GLP/NLA is also associated with numerous ideas and clinical strategies that lack theoretical and empirical support. For this reason, Venker and Lorang (2025) believe it is premature to embrace GLP/ NLM as a neurodiversity-affirmative practice. Clinicians who are employing a GLP approach are generally adamant that they observe changes in their clients. That is quite possible, and probably likely, but the changes they observe may not be due to the premises of the GLP framework but rather to factors in the therapeutic interactions that might be found in many language interventions.

Extraordinary and somewhat ironic that Battye says “misinformation about #gestaltlanguageprocessing is prevalent” until you realise she is not admitting that #glp #nla proponents are dishing out the misinformation. And she used to write sensible things about #aac/ #augcomm … how was she led astray?

Confirmation bias is a 💥POWERFUL thing.

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favour, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.

Let me see, now:

“Have the GLP/NLA developers responded to your journal article?” NOT DIRECTLY 🙄

“What do we do instead?” CHOOSE THEORETICALLY SOUND, EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES 😎🙃

“What about kids who use singing?” 🤣

“Will it ever be evidence-based?” NO

Did I pass?

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH isn't about what we hope to find—it's about what the evidence shows. In this case, it SHOWS NO EVIDENCE for #GESTALTlanguagePROCESSING / #NaturalLANGUAGEacquisition having ANY impact on communication, language, or behaviour in people with communication disability 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES
