Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) & NLA Pathway

A research-based framework that details and quantifies the process of gestalt language development from Stage 1 (use of language gestalts) to Stage 6 (culminating in a complete grammar system); NLA is not a ‘practice,’ but a description of the natural, developmental process of gestalt language development, and provides a road-map for supporting children in natural, conversational, developmentally-appropriate ways.
