Language Therapy
Language is foundational to participating in the world around us. Language is needed to:
-
Follow conversations and class discussions
-
Talk about what you did on the weekend
-
Write - if you can't tell a good story, you cannot write a good story
Narrative Intervention
Helping your child understand story structure supports comprehension and their ability to tell and write stories. Personal narratives (talking about something that happened to them) are a powerful way to connect with others.
Vocabulary
When a child has difficulty with vocabulary, you might see difficulties with:
-
word finding (word seems to be on the tip of the tongue)
-
describing and defining
-
understanding math word problems
-
storing (learning) and retrieving (remembering) words
