Receptive Language

Receptive language is the understanding of information provided in a variety of ways such as sounds and words; movement and gestures; and signs and symbols. Receptive language skills include following directions, completing tasks, responding to questions, understanding of non verbal gestures, listening and reading comprehension.

Receptive language skills consider 4 main areas:

• Following Directions
• Understanding questions
• Understanding grammar
• Understanding vocabulary

Intervention focuses on teaching compensatory strategies, vocabulary expansion, use of written and visual supports.
