Pragmatic Language
Pragmatic Language in Children
Pragmatic language difficulties refer to difficulties with social communication including engaging and maintaining social interactions, telling stories, and understanding jokes, humour, and sarcasm. Our speech-language pathologists work with children of all ages on those important social skills by practicing real-life social situations in a safe learning environment and by giving families strategies to continue supporting social skills at homes.
Our therapy services help improve:
- Engaging and maintaining social interactions
- Understanding jokes, humour and sarcasm
- Telling stories
- Adapting language to different people and contexts
