Expressive language is supported mainly through speech and language therapy, where a speech-language pathologist uses play, modelling and structured practice to build vocabulary and sentences, alongside parent and teacher coaching. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
One high-value everyday activity is the pause-and-wait game: offer something your toddler wants, then pause expectantly so they communicate with a sound, word or gesture — honouring any attempt and modelling the next word. Repeated across daily routines, it turns ordinary moments into hundreds of chances to build expressive language.
