Language development and scripting

Post Reply New Topic

My 5 yo daughter has expressive language delay. She understands much more than express herself.

With only three months of language therapy, she went from two words sentences to longer sentences. However, most of them are learned phrases she heard elsewhere, but used appropriately.

Do you know if this scripting phase is a expected path of language development on the milder end of the spectrum or on expressive language disorder?

Did you or someone you knew, went through this phase? How long it was to catch up?

Scripting helps.
I still have an expressive language problem, but I am old and I never got help as a child.
I have difficulties retrieving and organizing words and sentences and expressing thoughts and ideas.
It takes me a long time to express my thoughts and I look things up on the internet often to find ways of expressing things.
As a child I was thought of as quiet and slow.

*Edited because I meant to say expressive, not receptive.
