- Expressive Language
-
Expressive language disorder means the student has difficulty conveying information, thoughts and ideas.
We can communicate in the following ways:
Verbally
Written responses
Sign language (if the student is hearing impaired)
Assistive Device ( if the student is nonverbal)
How would an expressive language disorder impact participation in the classroom?
- Difficulty recalling the names of words
- Grammar errors or incomplete sentence structure
- The student might confuse the meaning of sentences
- Hesitation when attempting to converse
Speech-language pathologists help students develop expressive language skills that allow them to effectively communicate thoughts and ideas throughout the school day.
