We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Joan from CLDP for her fantastic online talk on “Supporting your Gestalt Language Processing Child.”

Joan is the manager of Children’s Language Development Preschool (CLDP) in Athenry, where she and her team do incredible work supporting the overall speech and language development of children aged 2–6. Joan also offers parent and educator workshops to support those working with neurodiverse children in their classrooms. We are blessed to have her supporting parents and educators in our own community!

During the online talk for ANOA, Joan shared a wealth of knowledge and experience, breaking down GLP in a way that was both accessible and insightful. The real-life video examples and practical strategies made it especially meaningful for parents supporting their children at home.

The feedback from attendees says it all:

💬 “Joan was brilliant. I thought I knew a lot about GLP but I still learned loads! Great presentation and lovely videos with examples and interactions.”

💬 “It has helped me better understand how my son is trying to communicate and shown me new ways I can interact with him to support his language.”

💬 “Very informative… a wealth of knowledge and great resources to support our children at home.”

💬 “I took so much from the explanation of GLP, especially learning about echopraxia — a new term for me.”

We are so grateful to Joan for sharing her time and expertise with our community, and to everyone who joined us on the night 💙
