What Interventions Are Available for Expressive Language Delays?
Interventions depend on the underlying cause and severity of the delay. Common interventions include:
- Speech Therapy: Tailored to a child's specific needs, speech therapy can help improve vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. - Early Intervention Programs: These community-based services offer support for children with developmental delays. - Parental Training: Programs that teach parents strategies to support language development at home. - Special Education Services: For school-aged children, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) can provide targeted support.
