What Factors Influence Expressive Language Development?
Several factors can influence the development of expressive language, including:
- Genetics: A family history of language disorders can predispose a child to similar issues. - Environment: Rich language environments, where children are exposed to varied vocabulary and sentence structures, support better language development. - Health: Conditions such as hearing impairments, autism spectrum disorders, and developmental delays can affect expressive language. - Interaction: Regular interaction with caregivers and peers can significantly boost a child's language skills.
