Language Skills Therapy
What is a language difficulty?
Language is comprised of two areas, receptive language (the way we understand what is said to us), and expressive language (the use of words, gestures and written words to communicate). A language disorder or difficulty can involve features such as:
Limited vocabulary and short sentence structure
Sentences with grammatical errors
Trouble with finding the right words
Difficulty understanding what words mean
Trouble with following directions
Difficulties with listening
Difficulties with recalling stories and providing information
Repetition of words
Words may be placed in the wrong order in sentences
Difficulties understanding and asking questions.
