Pediatrics
Speech Articulation & Phonology
Articulation looks at children’s acquisition of individual phonemes and emphasizes motor control (physical difficulty producing sounds). The phonological aspect of language focuses on sound patterns within the language system (often displayed by a highly unintelligible child).
Receptive & Expressive Language
Receptive language refers to how your child understands language (involves listening). Expressive language refers to how your child uses words to express himself/herself (involves talking).
Reading & Writing Literacy
Literacy refers to your ability to read and write. Children with speech and/or language difficulties often struggle with reading and writing. Literacy includes the following: reading comprehension, reading errors, spelling, punctuation, cohesion, organization, and syntax errors.
Pragmatics (Social Communication)
Pragmatics are the social skills of language – how, where, when, and with whom language is shared. Pragmatic skills are increasingly necessary for social, academic, and vocational success (Roseberry-McKibbin, 2015).
