A language disorder is more than unclear speech — it’s trouble understanding words and sentences (receptive language) or putting words together to share ideas (expressive language). You might notice your child has a small vocabulary for their age, struggles to follow directions, mixes up word order, or has trouble telling you what happened.
We assess what’s going on, figure out whether it’s a delay or a disorder, and build therapy that targets the exact areas your child needs — then coach you to support language all day, not just in session.
Frequently asked questions:
What’s the difference between a speech delay and a language disorder?
“Speech” is about saying sounds clearly. “Language” is about understanding and using words and sentences. A child can have one, the other, or both — an assessment tells you which.
My child talks a lot but doesn’t always make sense. Is that a language issue?
It can be. Talking a lot isn’t the same as using language effectively. It’s worth checking.
How do I know if it’s serious enough to assess?
If you’re noticing a gap, an assessment is the simplest way to get a clear answer. Start with a free consult.
