Expressive language difficulties

Expressive language involves your child's ability to convey wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas through both verbal and nonverbal communication channels. Verbal communication comprises spoken language, while nonverbal communication encompasses gestures, signing, and other forms.

Who might benefit from speech therapy for expressive language difficulties:

- Children who struggle to express themselves verbally and/or nonverbally.

- Children with a limited vocabulary.

- Children facing challenges in forming sentences and more complex utterances.

- Older children who exhibit grammatical errors in their speech.

A speech-language pathologist can conduct a thorough evaluation to identify signs of expressive language disorders in children. Based on the assessment results, the clinician can recommend ongoing therapy services tailored to address the child's specific needs and enhance their expressive language skills.
