Receptive Language Delays/Disorders
Receptive language delays and disorders can impact the way a child takes in and comprehends spoken and written language. Parents feel that they must repeat themselves many, many times before their child figures out what it is they want them to do. In therapy, we can help develop a system of cues and strategies that will assist your child as he struggles to comprehend the language presented to him. Your therapist is also available to assist your child in his classroom/course tasks. This is an area that frustrates parents to a large degree and we have often worked with children who have been punished because parents feel there is a behavioral concern versus a language issue. Rarely do children show only a receptive language delay. This type of delay/disorder usually coincides with other areas of concern (expressive language delay, learning disabilities and more).
Auditory Processing Delays/Disorders fall under the receptive language delay/disorder umbrella as well. Please see that section for more information.
