Language Delays

A delay within the development or use of the knowledge of language. Therapeutic intervention may address the disorders of phonology (i.e. sound system), morphology (i.e. word units- prefixes and suffixes), syntax (i.e. word order), semantics (i.e. vocabulary usage), and pragmatics (i.e. social aspects of communication). Remediation targets the following: comprehension and expression of oral and written, graphic modalities; processing, preliteracy/literacy skills, and/or phonological awareness.
