Marge Blanc is the director of the Communication Development Center in Madison, Wisconsin, USA and author of Natural Language Acquisition on the Autism Spectrum: The Journey from Echolalia to Self-Generated Language (2012). A Speech-Language Pathologist for 45+ years, Marge met her first autistic gestalt language processor when she was a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Marge subsequently founded the CDC clinic in Madison, to serve autistic clients and others who benefit from sensorimotor support. Marge conducted clinical research as part of her practice, detailing gestalt language development in a wide variety of children and young adults. Her longitudinal findings described and quantified the stages of gestalt language development outlined by Barry Prizant, and supported by the research findings of Ann Peters. Now in its sixth printing, the book was endorsed by Barry Prizant as “...the most comprehensive consideration of echolalia and language characteristics of persons with autism to date...(which) brings us back to a crucial understanding of language characteristics and language acquisition in ASD...” Unlimited
