Expressive language skills are a child’s ability to express wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas using spoken words, gestures, or other forms of communication. Strong expressive language is essential for children to clearly express themselves and is a key area of focus in pediatric speech therapy.

THINK OUTPUT!

Receptive language refers to a child’s ability to understand spoken language, written text, and other forms of communication. These skills are essential for following directions, learning new vocabulary, and participating in everyday conversations.

THINK INPUT!
