Language Therapy

Language disorders can affect a child's ability to communicate effectively with others. Language disorders can be developmental, meaning they occur as a child is learning language, or they can be acquired later in life due to injury, illness, or other factors.

There are two main types of language disorders:

Receptive language disorder: This involves difficulty understanding or processing language. Children with receptive language disorders may have trouble following directions, understanding questions, or grasping the meaning of words or sentences.

Expressive language disorder: This involves difficulty using language to express thoughts, ideas, or needs. Children with expressive language disorders may have trouble forming sentences, using correct grammar, or finding the right words to express themselves.

Mixed receptive-receptive language disorders are also common, where both understanding and using language are impaired. 

Play Together Speech Therapy utilizes play to focus on receptive and expressive language skills because PLAY is how children learn!
