Language
Language refers to the ability to understand and use words to create meaningful, well-structured sentences to communicate to others. We may express language through so much more than just words. We may also use gesture, pictures, and voice output systems.
WA Speech offers to support children and adults with their language skills so that they are able to express themselves for a range of communicative purposes – requesting, commenting, protesting, expressing emotions, labelling, greeting, questioning, and sharing thoughts and ideas.
Our Language Services
Our speech pathologists use evidence-based techniques to boost vocabulary in children and adults so that they can:
- Follow simple and complex instructions
- Label and describe actions, objects, people and places
- Form and lengthen sentences
- Understand and answer questions of varying complexity
- Apply morphology and syntax (such as past tense, plural, conjunctions)
- Identify literal and hidden meaning in spoken language such as problem solving, inferencing, understanding figurative language and making predictions
- Create structured and concise oral and written narratives
Together these skills are essential for an individual to effectively communicate across a range of environments.
