Late Language Emergence occurs when language development in toddlers and preschoolers is below age expectations. A play-based approach is generally used to enhance language development at this age.
Receptive Language refers to the skills involved in understanding language. This may include understanding linguistic concepts (e.g. prepositions, temporal language), following directions, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension.
Expressive Language is a child's ability to communicate their thoughts clearly. Children with expressive language difficulties may have challenges expressing themselves verbally and/or in writing.
Articulation is how we make speech sounds using our articulators (i.e. mouth, lips and tongue). Errors in articulation can impact a child’s ability to be understood. For example, a child may produce “wain” for “rain”.
Social communication is how we use language to interact with others. Children who have difficulties with their social communication may have challenges staying on topic, taking turns during conversations, and perspective-taking.
Fluency is the continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort when producing speech. Children with a fluency disorder such as stuttering often include repetitions of words or parts of words, and/or prolongations of speech sounds.
Language is embedded in nearly all academic areas including reading comprehension, writing, science, and social studies. Children who struggle to complete their homework can benefit from supports such as breaking down complex language, scaffolding information, and building upon their foundational knowledge.
