Receptive language refers to how we understand spoken words, the language around us, and the ability to hear/understand/comprehend spoken language.

👂Receptive language can include spoken, written, and implied language. It is the intake of information, therefore receptive language can include un-spoken words. https://www.theottoolbox.com/receptive-language/

🗣️Expressive language, in contrast, refers to the use of language to communicate with others. Expressive language is “expressed” through speech, sign, written words, picture symbols, gestures, body language, or alternative forms of language to communicate wants, needs, thoughts and ideas. https://www.theottoolbox.com/expressive-language/

❓What does this mean for daily functioning in every day tasks? SO much! Language is needed for learning, play, communication with others, understanding directions, safety, and participation in everyday activities. Functional participation requires receptive language in order to thrive and communicate wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas.

Picky Eater Feeding Tip: TAKE YOUR TIME

It can take between 15-20 exposures (or offerings) before a child is willing to put a new food in their mouth.

Try not to rush this process. Keep offering the food and don't give up before you have offered the food at least 20 times.
