Receptive language is how children understand words, questions, and instructions.
Expressive language is how they share their ideas using words, sentences, or gestures.
When these skills are challenging, children may struggle socially, academically, or emotionally. Our individualised therapy helps build strong, functional communication skills.
Common Signs of Language Difficulties
Receptive Language
- Difficulty following directions
- Trouble answering questions
- Mixing up similar words
- Challenges with reading comprehension
Expressive Language
- Limited vocabulary
- Using fillers like “um” or “thing”
- Short or simple sentences for their age
- Frustration when trying to explain ideas
Many children experience delays in both areas. Early support helps prevent these challenges from becoming bigger barriers later on.
