Receptive Language Disorder

What it is:

Difficulty understanding language.  *It is important to rule out hearing loss when a child has difficulty understanding language.

What it looks like:

Children with a Receptive Language Disorder may have difficulty with the following:

• Understanding gestures
• Identifying objects
• Following directions
• Taking turns or playing a game
• Answering questions
• Organizing their ideas

What we do:

We utilize a home-like atmosphere to teach children language within everyday activities.  Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in therapy sessions to promote carry-over and accelerate the learning process.
