What is receptive speech?

Answer by  patti (29325)

When kids first acquire language, they understand a great deal more than they can actually express. Receptive language means that we understand what is being said and that our minds can organize the words so that they make sense. Discuss this at length with your physicians. You need to understand how you can do to help.

Receptive speech refers to the speech that an individual understands or takes in, as opposed to generative speech, which is the speech that an individual produces. Put another way, receptive speech refers to a person's ability to understand others speaking. The doctor apparently meant that your son is delayed in this ability.

Receptive speech delays have to do with how able your child is able to understand and process what they are being told,which then hurts their ability to communicate back appropriately.

A receptive language disorder basically means that the child has difficulties with understanding what is said to them. You should ask your doctor for more clarifications.
