Online Therapy for Language Disorders in Children
How can I tell if my child has a problem with receptive or expressive language?
Receptive and expressive language disorders are a type of communication disorder. A child with a receptive language disorder may have difficulty understanding or processing words. A child with an expressive language disorder may have difficulty with expressing meaning or messages to others. It is also possible for children to have both kinds of disorders, called mixed receptive-expressive disorder.
Children with receptive language disorders may:
→ Develop language more slowly than their peers
→ Have trouble following directions
→ Have limited vocabulary
→ Have difficulty understanding the meaning of words
→ Misunderstand what is asked or stated
→ Act disinterested when others are speaking
Children with expressive language disorders may:
→ Have difficulty putting words together in the correct order to form sentences
→ Have difficulty choosing the right words or cannot remember what things are called
→ Have reduced vocabulary compared to peers
→ Omit words like pronouns or verbs from sentences
→ Have trouble distinguishing between the past, present, and future tense
→ Use short sentences
→ Use incorrect verb tenses
The best treatment for a child with a language disorder is speech-language therapy.
Receptive and expressive language disorders can affect a child’s ability to communicate, learn, and play with others. For this reason, it’s essential to get treatment as soon as the problem is discovered.
Online Evaluations & Treatment From the Comfort of Your Home
THOROUGH ASSESSMENT
After your free introductory call, your child’s speech therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment by a skilled speech-language pathologist (SLP) who is highly trained to identify speech and language issues in children.
CUSTOMIZED GOAL & PLAN
At Connected Speech Pathology, we believe that goals should be centered around your child and their communication needs. An individualized treatment plan for addressing your child’s specific language issues will be created.
EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
Since each child is unique and will respond differently to therapy methods, your child’s therapist will create a treatment program tailor-made for your child’s needs and adapt therapy as needed.

We have a variety of tools that we can use to identify your child’s specific areas of need. They include standardized and informal tests and an assessment of the mouth’s physical structure and muscles used for speech. Speech-language evaluations may consist of reviewing educational and medical history, clinical observation, and interviews with caregivers. With a proper diagnosis, your child can receive targeted speech therapy to reduce or eliminate communication issues.
