Expressive Language

Our speech and language intervention is targeted to increase your child's expressive language skills. Expressive language refers to the language we use to communicate, this can be made up of gestures, signs, pictures and written or spoken language. Expressive language allows us to share our thoughts, feelings, ideas and needs with others.
