    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.
