Language is what we use to communicate on a daily basis, including spoken word and writing. It can be divided up into two categories: expressive and receptive.
Expressive language is how a student uses language to express themselves. This can include vocabulary, using describing words, and how sentences are put together to create a meaningful message.
Receptive language is how a student understands the language they are hearing. This can include comprehension of lessons they hear at school, understanding the deeper meaning of what they are reading, and following spoken or written directions.
The visuals below provide a more in-depth analysis of language, and language area(s) that SLP's can help support within an academic setting.
