What is a Mixed Expressive & Receptive Language Disorder?
A mixed expressive and receptive language disorder is a type of language disorder that where a child struggles with both understanding language and expressing themselves. It affects a child’s ability to understand words, grasp the full meaning, follow directions, utilize words, and participate fully in conversations. This means they may have a hard time making sense of what others say (receptive language) and also find it difficult to put their own thoughts into words (expressive language). Even though their hearing is normal and they may be bright and curious, their brain has difficulty processing and organizing language. As a result, everyday routines, learning, and social interactions can feel overwhelming or frustrating.
