Language
We help children and adults improve their understanding and use of language—whether it’s following directions, expressing ideas, or building vocabulary. Each plan is personalised to support communication growth in everyday life.
Understanding Language
Language is how we understand and use words to communicate. It includes both what we take in (receptive language) and what we express (expressive language). Strong language skills help children learn, build relationships, and share their thoughts clearly.
Key areas of language include:
Understanding Language
⦁ Following directions
⦁ Understanding questions
⦁ Making sense of stories and conversations
Using Language
⦁ Choosing the right words
⦁ Forming clear and grammatically correct sentences
⦁ Telling stories or explaining ideas
These challenges may arise from developmental delays, conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Developmental Language Disorder.
