Language therapy focuses on helping children develop receptive (understanding) and expressive (using) language skills. We address vocabulary development, sentence structure, comprehension, and social communication to help children express themselves effectively.
Receptive Language
Building comprehension skills through listening activities, following directions, and understanding concepts.
Expressive Language
Developing vocabulary, grammar, and sentence formation through storytelling, role-play, and structured activities.
Social Communication
Teaching pragmatic language skills including turn-taking, topic maintenance, and understanding social cues.
Augmentative Communication
Using picture systems, gestures, and technology to support children who need alternative communication methods.
