As children grow, more and more emphasis is placed on their usage and understanding of higher order language skills, such as inferential reasoning and figurative language. In this presentation, RNBC’s speech-language pathologist, Sara Brown, M.A., CCC-SLP/L, will share information on how these skills develop in children and adolescents and why they are so important, both academically and socially. Ms. Brown will also provide a variety of practical strategies parents can use to help support their child’s ongoing language development.
