What do I need to ask?
While you wait
Six months of memories
Keep what matters while you are on a waiting list.
When history matters
Years of ups and downs
Choose what is useful when meeting a new speech pathologist or teacher.
You do not need to keep everything. Just save the things you may want to find again.
How it works
When someone asks what's been happening, you will not have to start from scratch.
The questions, small wins and hard moments rarely arrive when you have time to write them down. Save the ones you want to bring to your next conversation.
- 1
Save the moment before it blurs
Keep the word, question or everyday moment you may want to bring up later, while you can still remember what happened.
- 2
Bring it back when someone asks
Before an appointment, school conversation or handover, find the moments you chose instead of trying to remember everything in the room.
- 3
Share the notes you choose
Choose which types of notes a connected practitioner can see. New notes can follow those settings; you can also make individual notes private.
The things that happen between appointments
The moment you need to mention later rarely happens in the room.
It happens in the car, after school or when you are trying to get dinner on the table. Write or speak a quick note in your own words, then come back to it when you are ready.
- Words, questions and everyday moments you do not want to lose
- Sharing settings stay under your control
- Ready when you need to tell someone what has been happening
School

Question

More ways to use Gestalts
When you need a little help finding the words.
Companion is an educational tool about gestalt language processing (GLP). Storybook can help families turn a familiar interest, routine or transition into a visual story to share together. Both are optional.
GLP-specific · Companion
A place to start when a GLP question comes up.
Ask for general information about gestalt language processing, reflect on what you have noticed, and keep a question to bring to your speech pathologist.
Educational information only. Companion does not assess your child or replace clinical advice.
Storybook
Turn a familiar idea into a story you can share together.
Create a parent-led visual story around interests, routines, transitions, or a social or safety concept you want to talk through.
Parent-created and supervised. Storybook is not therapy and does not promise a particular outcome.
Why we built it
Built by a parent who was tired of holding everything in their head.
Gestalts began with our family’s experience of gestalt language processing. We wanted an easier way to keep the small details, prepare our questions and talk with the people supporting our child.
That need is not limited to GLP families. The note-saving and appointment-preparation tools can be useful across many speech and communication journeys. GLP-specific learning tools are labelled clearly, so families can use the parts that fit.
Bring your speech pathologist in
Share a clearer starting point for the conversation.
With Connect, your speech pathologist can review the notes and summaries you choose to share. They keep control of clinical decisions, and their formal clinical records stay in their own system.
For speech pathologists- The parent controls what is shared
- The practitioner controls clinical interpretation
- Formal clinical records remain in the practitioner’s system
Questions parents ask
Clear answers before you start.
What is Gestalts?
Gestalts is an app for parents supporting a child’s speech and communication. Save words, phrases, everyday observations and questions in one place, then choose what you want to bring to a conversation with a speech pathologist.
Can I use Gestalts before a first appointment?
Yes. You can save notes and questions while waiting for an appointment, before meeting a speech pathologist for the first time, or between visits. You do not need to connect with a practitioner to start saving notes.
What can I do for free?
The free Starter plan includes saving notes and exporting selected notes without AI rewriting. Generated summaries and reports are included with Prepare and Connect. Practitioner connections and connected sharing require Connect. See the pricing page for current AUD prices and limits.
Is Gestalts a health or clinical record?
No. Gestalts is a family tool for notes, saved moments and appointment preparation. It is not a health or clinical record, and it should not be used for emergencies or treatment decisions. Formal clinical records stay with the practitioner.
Is Gestalts only for families of gestalt language processors?
No. Gestalts began with one family’s experience of gestalt language processing, and some educational tools are GLP-specific. The core tools for saving notes, preparing questions and choosing what to share can be useful across many speech and communication journeys.
Does Gestalts replace a speech pathologist?
No. Gestalts helps families organise what they notice and prepare for conversations. Assessment, diagnosis, clinical interpretation and therapy decisions belong with qualified professionals.
Who can see what I add?
You decide whether to connect and which types of notes a practitioner can see. New notes can follow those sharing settings. You can make individual notes private and change or remove access.
Save the moments you may need later
When someone asks for the story, you will not have to start from scratch.
Keep the questions, words and everyday moments you want to bring to the next conversation.
