Pediatric Language Disorders
Receptive and Expressive Speech Therapy
Language disorders can affect a child's receptive language (understanding language), expressive language (using language), or both. Receptive language refers to how we understand spoken and written language. Children with receptive language difficulties may have trouble following directions, understanding questions, identifying objects or pictures, or comprehending what they hear or read. Expressive language refers to how we communicate our thoughts, ideas, and needs. Children with expressive language difficulties may have trouble using words to communicate, asking questions, naming objects, using age-appropriate grammar and sentence structure, telling stories, or using gestures effectively. Speech-language therapy for children with language disorders is individualized to their unique needs and focuses on strengthening their understanding and use of language to support effective communication across everyday environments.
