When kids are learning how to talk, there are a couple of different paths they can take. Some children are analytic language processors, which means they start off by learning single words, then they learn how to put them together into sentences with grammar.
Other kids are gestalt language processors, which means they start off by learning entire phrases from what they hear other people say and the media they watch. Then they learn how to break these phrases down and recombine them into unique sentences with grammar. Many gestalt language processors use a lot of echolalia to communicate, especially at the beginning.
Gestalt language processors often benefit from language therapy that takes their language learning style into account, and Voices Ablaze can help with this!
