#expressivelanguage

At 3 years old, we’re working on using language for different purposes, like requesting, commenting, describing, and sharing ideas. Instead of constantly asking, “What do you want?” or “What is that?” I’m modeling phrases she can use and expanding on what she already says. Why? Because children need to HEAR how to put words together before they can start using those sentences independently! Try this at home! Follow your child’s lead, add a few words to what they say, and give them time to respond. 🏡 #SpeechTherapy #ExpressiveLanguage #SpeechTherapyTips #ToddlerLanguage #intownspeechtherapy
