What Is Expressive Language and Why It Matters for Your Child

Expressive language is the part of communication that allows children to use words, sentences, gestures, and writing to share their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and needs. It’s not just talking—it’s the ability to put language together so others understand what they’re trying to say.

At Small Talk Speech Therapy in San Antonio, Texas, we help children strengthen their expressive language so they can communicate confidently and fully participate at home, in school, and with friends.
