Expressive Language Disorder

Characterized by a reduced utterance length, reduced vocabulary, and reduced use of age-appropriate grammar.

Is your child unable to:

• Imitate speech sounds
• Have a word for almost everything (2-3 years)
• Acquire new words on a regular basis
• Use two or three- word phrases to talk about and ask for things (2-3 years)
• Ask questions
• Use sentences with four or more words (3-4 years)
• Start a conversation and keep it going (3-4 years)

If your child has difficulty in one or more of these areas, they may benefit from a speech and language therapy program.
