LANGUAGE THERAPY
Language Therapy can address a child's ability to express themselves through spoken language or a child's ability to understand the language they receive from others.
Expressive Language refers to your child's ability to express his or her thoughts, needs, and opinions. It encompasses his/her ability to make a choice, ask a question, describe an event or argue a point of view. We all need to communicate freely and effectively.
Receptive Language refers to your child's ability to understand the words and connected language presented to him or her. A child who has difficulty understanding may have difficulty attending to a book, following directions, or appropriately answering questions. They may fall behind in academic tasks or withdraw socially. Some children may have behavior issues at school and at home.
Steps to take:
-
Schedule a free 15 minute consultation.
-
Schedule an evaluation.
-
Review results of your evaluation and the treatment plan.
-
Your child will attend therapy sessions once or twice each week.
-
You will be given a home carry-over plan.
