Let’s talk language - speaking and understanding.

Language is a two lane pathway; how someone expresses their thoughts and feelings (expressive language), and how they understand the information that is being said to them (receptive language).

Language is an essential skill that allows a person to engage with others socially, follow instructions within a school or workplace setting and to explain their own thoughts and feelings. A Speech Pathologist can help a child who has either or both expressive and receptive language difficulties.

If you have any concerns that your child hasn’t met the milestones by the age that they are expected, feel free to get in touch with us.
