When a child experiences language difficulties, they may struggle to understand what they hear. This can make it hard for them to follow directions or answer questions accurately. Additionally, they may find it difficult to express their thoughts to others, often using incorrect words or speaking in short sentences. These language deficits can also make reading and writing more challenging.
Listed below are some resources we use to help children improve their language abilities:
