Receptive and Expressive Language Disorders and Delay

Receptive and Expressive Language Disorders and Delay

Sometimes children can make all the sounds necessary for speech but they cannot say what they mean to say. Conversely, they can hear just fine, but they struggle to understand what someone tells them.

Receptive language disorder: difficulty understanding what you are being told or processing written or verbal input.

Expressive language disorder: difficulty saying what you want to say in order to get your point or meaning across.

Studies have shown that as many as 5% of children have expressive and/or receptive language problems before they reach the first grade. Children that are on the autism spectrum and children whose second language is English often have expressive and receptive language disorders. We can help!
