The Brandon Speech & Language Clinic - Language Delays & Disorders

As a parent or a caregiver of a child, many of us will often pay special attention to how a child communicates. They may be difficult to understand, have limited vocabulary, have difficulties in being part of a group or following directions. As early identification is key, its important for parents, caregivers, teachers, pediatricians, doctors and early childhood educators to identify if a child may have exceptional communication needs.

In general terms, language is the foundation for all communication whether it be shared in spoken, written or nonverbal forms. There are many different aspects to language including sound awareness and early literacy (phonology/phonological), grammar (syntax), vocabulary (semantics), social aspects (pragmatics) of communication and thinking skills (executive function).

Language is layered from simple to complex. You have to have your basic skills before you can reason abstractly about the world around you and the people in it. Tammy
