Language

Language therapy is a very broad label for many types of therapies that a speech-language pathologist can provide for children. Language therapy addresses children with delays or disorders in the following areas:

• Listening Skills: How your child is able to understand what is being said to her and follow directions.
• Grammar Skills: Your child’s ability to use grammatical markers to form complete sentences.
• Vocabulary Skills: Your child’s knowledge of what things are called and her ability to understand those words when spoken, as well as to recall and say the word when needed.
• Question Skills: Your child’s ability to answer and ask questions with a variety of structures.
• Social Language Skills (Pragmatics): Your child’s ability to use language to interact with others and follow social rules of conversation and play.
