Natural language acquisition can be broken down into the following six stages:
Gestalts
Mitigated Gestalts
Isolation and Combination of Single Words
*Self-Generated Phrases and Simple Sentences
*Self-Generated Sentences Used in Everyday Situations
*Self-Generated Sentences Used in Complex Situations
*These stages begin to incorporate grammatical components of language (i.e., verb structures)
Gestalts can often be derived from media, which is challenging for therapists/caregivers to complete “detective work” in order to gather contextual meaning. Here are some resources for websites which find audio/video source for gestalts:
Play Phrase
Yarn
Subzin
QuoDB
Pop Mystic
