What are some of the different Speech and Language disorders?
Children may face various speech and language challenges from infancy through young adulthood. These issues often fall into the following categories:
- Expressive Language: Difficulties in expressing thoughts, needs, or wants effectively.
- Receptive Language: Challenges in understanding and processing spoken language, such as following directions.
- Articulation: Trouble pronouncing words clearly, even when the child has the necessary language skills to communicate. This can make their speech difficult to understand.
While expressive and receptive language disorders often occur together, expressive language delays can sometimes appear independently.
How do I know if my child is presenting with any of these disorders?
Parents often find it challenging to differentiate typical language development from speech and language difficulties. To assist, we’ve created a chart outlining the ages at which specific sounds are typically mastered and key speech and language developmental milestones.
