Expressive/Receptive Language Delays

A starting point for discussing your child’s daily needs with our South Miami clinic.

Understanding language and expressing ideas

Understanding what others say and expressing thoughts are related but distinct skills. Give examples of both so the conversation is more specific than “speech delay.”

Questions to bring to your conversation

  • What kinds of directions does your child understand?
  • How does your child ask for help or share an idea?
  • Which languages are used at home and in other settings?
