• Language is a code that we learn to use in order to communicate ideas and express our wants and needs. 

​

• Reading, writing, speaking, facial expressions and gestures are all forms of language.

​

• Having trouble understanding what others say is a receptive language disorder.

 

• Having difficulty sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feelings is an expressive language disorder.

 

• It is possible to have  both  a receptive and an expressive language delay.
