Language

Language is the vehicle for learning. It enables understanding and expression of thought, it supports thinking, problem solving and reasoning and it’s accepted as being critical to cognitive development. Language is split into two areas, receptive and expressive language.

• Receptive – Understanding what has been said to us.

• Expressive – Being able to say a sentence in a logical way, putting the right words in the right order or being able to recall words (word retrieval).
