Expressive Language Disorders

Expressive Language is using spoken/written language to communicate with others.
Many young children have difficulty using spoken language to express their needs/ wants. If a young child experiences this, they may have a DEVELOPMENTAL Expressive Langauge Disorder.
If a person experiences a stroke or traumatic brain injury and is now having difficulty with expressive language, they may have an ACQUIRED Expressive Language Disorder.
People who are experiencing difficulty with Expressive Language may have difficulty with the following:
  • using complex sentences- instead they may use short, rehersed sentences
  • difficulty remembering words
  • difficulty using pronouns (he, she, they)
  • difficulty describing / retelling a story
  • difficulty asking questions
  • they may also have a small vocabulary

***Receptive Language Disorder CAN co-exist with a Receptive Language Disorder
