    I cannot express how grateful and rewarding my experience with Brooklyn Letters has been. Her tutor Ms. Daria is so knowledgeable, amazing, kind and awesome. My daughter has made so much progress in Literacy and Math and it's all … More thanks to Ms. Daria. I know my daughter is sad that she can no longer work with Ms. Daria, as she looked forward to their sessions every week. Thank you again!

    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.

    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much! She’s simply amazing and we can’t say enough how great she is. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone, without hesitation. Thank you so much for connecting us with her!

    We cannot say enough good things about Effie, the ASL teacher, who was so engaged and effective with our 2 year old daughter from the very first session! Effie gladly included our whole family in the sessions! Her expertise and fantastic … More personality gave our daughter a way to communicate that she was so desperately seeking. The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!

    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try. If my daughter's doctors want … More to see more progress at her next appointment, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha again.

    Brooklyn Letters was recommended to me through a friend's speech therapist friend in NJ. The articulation evaluation for my daughter went well. We were pleased with Kristin's services.
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Kelley Peters-Patel ★★★★★ a year ago
    Melissa was wonderful. Our daughter warmed to her immediately and by the time she left, had already started "practicing" some of the techniques Melissa had shown her. I will not hesitate at all to reach out to Melissa again, should … More the need arise.

    Aileen was INCREDIBLY helpful to us, both in assessing possible origins of my grandson's food aversions, as well as informing us of various available interventions to consider.
    I can’t thank you and Brooklyn Letters enough for connecting
    … More us with Aileen. In all our feeding therapy journey we have not gotten anything near the kind of benefit that we did from her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness have put us on the path of progress with my grandson and has also made us feel genuinely well cared for.
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Christine Weiher ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    We were amazed with Allison! She met my son at 2 1/2 years old, not speaking much at all, and over a computer, and she was able to develop a bond and friendship, so much so that he would look forward to his weekly computer time with Allison. … More I was not sure how the speech therapy would go- but we are so happy that we tried it out and continued. It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with Allison- she was fantastic to work with.
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Andrea Saffady ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    My sessions with Karen have been extremely helpful. My speech has improved tremendously. In fact, I just finished 2 hours of conducting interviews with a consulting client via MS Teams and I have an upcoming conference call. Both my … More neurologist and neurosurgeon remarked about how good my speech is. Much of the day it is perfect, although I still have some rough spots when I get tired or speak too quickly. One of my granddaughters is a speech pathology student at Ithaca College. She sat in on 2 sessions while she was home for winter break, and she was very impressed with Karen.
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Jacob B ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were delighted with Christie. First, and most importantly, our son made great strides under her guidance. So great, that we felt he no longer needed help! She was incredibly patient and kind with him and our son really responded to … More her. Christie was also great with me and my wife. She provided thorough and informative updates on our son's progress and which exercises she was using with him, so we could reinforce what she was teaching him. All in all, we had a fabulous experience with Christie and would highly recommend her.

  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Samantha Packard ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We've been working with Theo from Brooklyn Letters for close to 4 months now and the results are apparent; our daughter has vastly improved her speech in a relatively short amount of time. We make "Theo Day" a celebration … More in our house with pancakes for breakfast, and the enthusiasm is matched in the sessions. Theo is fun, patient, professional, and caring, and he gives us the tools to take the lessons beyond the session. Thank you Theo, and Brooklyn Letters, for helping our daughter express herself.

    Cathy has been excellent with us and our son. We will sorely miss her. He has improved significantly with Cathy’s help. Cathy was a true partner with us, especially as we pursued additional help through our son’s school system.

    We really loved working with Alina, she is so fantastic. Patient yet firm, and determined the best course of action very clearly and succintly for us. And it all transitioned so well to Zoom as well. I will definitely be back in touch for … More services for our other child after summer break!

  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters susie tofte ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The work that Allison P. did with our daughter over the years has been invaluable to us. Our daughter had such a good relationship with Allison, and it allowed them to work really well together - even remotely these past 6 months. This … More year, Allison went above and beyond by helping us throughout the neuropsych eval we did, trying to re-open our daughter's IEP at her school, and eventually landing her at our chosen school. She was in contact with our daughter's teachers, with the neuropsychologist, and made herself available as a reference to speak on behalf of our daughter's learning differences.
    Allison stopped by our house last week to give our daughter cupcakes and say goodbye, and I literally cried with appreciation for what an amazing speech therapist she has been. She has been our daughter's biggest champion. The new families that she will work with this year are lucky to have her.
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Alicia Perez-Katz ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Sydney was great! Our son was sad to end his sessions with her, which says a lot. We appreciated her honest assessment of his skill level, and he now has materials to self monitor and practice. Thank you!
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Kristin Ames ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Our experience with Theo was terrific. Theo was great with my son. He developed a positive relationship with him based on sincerity, respect, trust and a deep personal connection. In their lessons, Theo was encouraging, creative and kind. … More He helped our son understand how to differentiate the sounds he made when he spoke, and gave him great exercises to practice every week between lessons. Our son was sorry to have the lessons come to an end, but recognized that Theo had helped him as much as possible and it was time for him to stop. Theo explained to him (and us) how to keep working to get the last 5%, and encouraged him to keep working on the exercises on his own. I have recommended Theo to another parent who noticed my son's improvement and inquired for her own son.
    We are all grateful to have gotten to know Theo, and we greatly appreciate all the work he did to help our son.

    "I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle Macroy-Higgins. We are extremely pleased with her work with our daughter. I was so grateful for my daughter to have a speech therapist who is a researcher (specialty in late … More talkers), graduate professor and practitioner. Her expertise was clearly evident in our conversations and work with our daughter. She was very responsive to my questions and often sent articles and other materials about language development that I found helpful. Thankfully, my daughter's speech improved tremendously. Michelle developed such a warm relationship with my daughter. My daughter was always excited to see Michelle and would greet her at the door with a big hug. Lastly, I would add that Michelle always demonstrated empathy with me as a mother who was initially worried about her daughter's language development. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with Michelle's work."

    Alexa has been an enthusiastic, reliable, well prepared and caring teacher for our 6 year old daughter. She has been able to improve and increase our daughter's confidence lesson by lesson with patience and competence; through varied … More and productive didactic practice. Alexa has engaged our daughter in several activities that always kept her motivated and eager to learn literacy.

Thank you Brooklyn Letters!
  • Google review, Brooklyn Letters Lily Alt ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were absolutely DELIGHTED with Marsha's services. She was wonderful. We found her to be kind, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable. She provided us with clear instructions and additional written handouts each week. She engaged our … More son with different techniques and toys, and showed us how to use her techniques when we were interacting with him. I actually just texted her on Saturday - Our son finally said "more" - one of the target words we had been working on with her. It was a total joy to hear, and I had to share it with her - she wrote back immediately to congratulate us. I am so appreciative of her expertise, and wish we could have seen her for longer. I recommended her to another family in our neighborhood who is looking for a speech therapist.

TESTIMONIALS

Brooklyn Letters was highly recommended by our neuropsychologist, and Craig connected us with Susan, who has been working with our daughter for the past year. We feel lucky to have someone who is truly an expert with our daughterโ€™s expressive and receptive language issues. Susan makes the sessions interesting and playful using a range of games and activities. She is warm, patient, and thoughtful. We appreciate the extra time and effort she has taken to connect with our daughterโ€™s school teachers to gain more insight and help support everyoneโ€™s efforts. Most of all, we are excited about the impressive progress our daughter has made and highly recommend Susan as an extremely skilled speech and language therapist.

Allison has been an invaluable resource to me
Allison is incredible! In the year and a half that she has been working with our daughter, there has been noticeable and sustained improvement in my daughter's expressive speech. Allison has such a lovely connection with our 6-year-old and always has activities planned for the session that is engaging and fun for Bertie. Allison has been an invaluable resource to me, taking the time to talk about the work she is doing with Bertie and offering ideas for how to support Bertie's speech at home and at school. She is truly an exceptional therapist.

- Susie, mother of Bertie

We are very happy with Michelle and enjoy watching her sessions with our son. He has made progress and I appreciate that she gives us 'homework' to continue our support of him when she is not there.

- Michele, mom of a Park Slope 2 year old

Any child would be fortunate to work with Kristine! It is rare to find a tutor who exhibits the compassion and expertise for her job that Kristine does. She arrives at the front door with a smile on her face, loves her job and her calm and nurturing personality makes it easy for our son to want to work with her. Kristine has been successfully giving our son the tools he needs to find success in his classes. She structures her sessions to cater to his needs and keeps his interest for the full hour and sometimes more. Her post-session updates on his progress are extremely informative and helpful. Any child would be fortunate to work with Kristine!

- Jonathan & Candace

Allison was amazing with our son! The only reason we stopped working for now is that my sonโ€™s new school is providing him with lots of help that will meet all his needs. If anything changes we will absolutely want to work with Allison again. I will definitely recommend Allison and your company to other families!

Language is the foundation for speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

What is expressive language therapy? Expressive language therapy is used to support children who struggle to use words and language appropriately to express their thoughts and feelings.ย We evaluate, treat, and remediate underlying language skills. Underlying language skills include sound,ย vocabulary, and grammar development; these skills significantly affect how we talk, listen, and how we learn to read and write. Read SPELLTalk questions and answers about theย language literacy networkโ€“ which represents normal reading and writing processes.

Our analysis will target where your child is having difficulty with his or her speech and language development. Pinpointing the underlying difficulties is critical for effective treatment.ย Learn what is the link betweenย executive functioningย and language. Download ourย Free What is Executive Functioning Pamphlet!

In addition to Language Processing Expressive & Receptive Therapy, we provideย speech therapyย for all ages.

Expressive language disorder

School age students with oral language problems typically omit information when they speak, e.g. word or phrase, have difficulty retrieving words or ideas, convey a general message (have a hard time being specific), have a less diverse vocabulary (including verbs), speak shorter utterances, use less complex sentences, make more grammatical errors, take more time to speak, pause a lot, repeat words or phrases (e.g. โ€œbut he but he,โ€ etc.), frequently revise what they say (โ€œand so, um, they he and so but they couldnโ€™t give him a nameโ€).

We are trained to work with students who have anย expressive language delay or disorder, students with aย mixed expressive-receptive language delay or disorder, and students with language learning difficulties.

Students with high IQs are prone to language difficulties, particularly reading comprehension and expressive writing difficulties. We also provideย reading comprehension tutoringย as well asย writing and speaking interventionย to help students improve their language and communication skills.

Another aspect of communication we give focus on is acquiring narrative skills. Narrative development is crucial as children expand their communication skills, such as expressing and describing stories, experiences, and previous events that go beyond the present context. It is also directly correlated with a childโ€™s success in school and academic achievement.

Young children typically acquire all grammatical morphemes by age four (see chart below). But for children struggling with narrative skills or showing other signs of an expressive language disorder, parents may notice obvious delays or missing aspects in their language skills.

Another condition isย Social Communication Pragmatic Disorder (SCPD). Learn more about social communication pragmatic disorder, its symptoms, causes, and strategies parents can employ to support their child with this disorder.

Narrative Development in Children

According to research, narrative development can play a significant role in determining a childโ€™s later success in school and literacy.ย This is because narration and relaying a previous experience allows the child to communicate and use language beyond the present context or the โ€œhere and now.โ€ This determines the childโ€™s grasp of linguistic structure and words chosen. But what exactly is narrative development? And how do you know your childโ€™s progress is appropriate for his or her age?
A childโ€™s narrative skills refer to his or her ability to use language in telling or communicating a story.ย As children develop their narrative skills, they learn to follow the rules of story-telling.ย This involves sequencing of events, organization, introducing characters, establishing the plot or main idea, and taking perspectives.
Narrative skills are first developed and introduced in very young children through storytelling or bedtime story sessions with their parents.ย By listening to stories andย being exposedย to story-telling, children begin to understand and develop narrative structure.ย In most cases, children with language impairments or conditions struggle with comprehending and executing narratives. Read about theย validity of an online oral narrative taskย (2023 study). The assessment task was developed to monitor childrenโ€™s oral language progress in their first year at school as part of the Better Start Literacy Approach for early literacy teaching.
Find out more about the Stages of Narrative Development.
Expressive language disorder

EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE DISORDER

Problems with narrative development is a tell-tale sign of an expressive language disorder. Unlike speech sound disorders, which involve difficulties in producing spoken sounds, language disorders refer to problems using spoken language compared to peers. These expressive problems manifest in at least one of these areas: spoken vocabulary, complexity of what the child is saying (grammar), and social use of words (pragmatics). These issues become more apparent when children, older than 4 years of age, have difficulties telling stories and making friends.

Expressive Language Disorder are classified as two types:

Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder – Difficulty with comprehension or understanding the words or complexity of what the individual understands compared to peers and has an expressive language disorder.

Expressive Language Disorder – Receptively, the individual is age appropriate but there are significant issues expressing oneself compared to peers.

There is no such thing as just a receptive language disorder. If a child is misdiagnosed with this label, either the child has significant attentional difficulties or the childโ€™s expressive language skills were not thoroughly assessed. Speech language pathologists are the best professionals to thoroughly assess expressive language skills.

Spoken or expressive language disorder is a lifelong condition and appears in early childhood. It is often developmental in nature but may also be caused by traumatic brain injury. An individual with expressive language disorder exhibits normal comprehension skills but has difficulty with written and/or verbal expression. This can impair academic achievement and make it more difficult to socialize in groups with peers.

Signs of an Expressive Language Disorder

Depending on the age, linguistic development, and affected language domains, the signs of an expressive language disorder can vary among individuals. In children, these symptoms can manifest in a variety of ways and affect the following language domains:

Phonology โ€“ The ability to recognize and work with sounds in spoken language, e.g. rhyming or playing around with sounds.

Syntax โ€“ Another word for grammar.

Morphology โ€“ A specific type of grammar dealing with units of words called morphemes.

Semantics โ€“ Vocabulary.

Pragmatics โ€“ Using appropriate language (including nonverbal communication) in social situations and daily interactions. Learn more aboutย social communication disorder.

In many cases, signs of an expressive language disorder may not be obvious to parents and teachers. In some cases, signs and behaviors may not directly imply a language problem.ย Children with an expressive language disorder may:

  • have less developed vocabulary than their peers
  • often say fillers like โ€œum,โ€ โ€œuh,โ€ and โ€œhuhโ€
  • have no problems with understanding, but struggle with speaking, asking questions, or answering
  • use short phrases or sentences or say the same words or phrases over and over;
  • struggle with telling stories
  • for toddlers, relies on using gestures
  • lack intonation and modulation when talking
  • shy away from conversation and avoid social situations or group interactions
  • may say a lot but not make much sense

Signs of a child who needs expressive language therapy:

  • Difficulty naming items and objects.
  • Does not link words together or may use sentences that are shorter than those used by children of the same age.
  • Uses sentences that are not grammatically correct and, therefore, can sound immature.
  • May use jargon (made-up words) when talking.
  • Speaks in sentences that are โ€˜jumbledโ€™ (i.e., words are in the wrong order, lots of stopping and starting, creating a lack of flow).
  • Can be misunderstood by unfamiliar people.
  • May have difficulty finding the correct words to use when describing something or having a conversation. The child may use techniques such as โ€˜circumlocutionโ€™ (talking around the word) or a word with a similar meaning to help them express themselves.

Diagnosing an Expressive Language Disorder

As with all speech or language disorders, it is always important to first ensure that there are no hearing issues affecting language development. A hearing assessment by an audiologist is necessary to rule out any issues with hearing (ears). Even undetected ear infections can interfere with acquiring language in younger children.

To get your child diagnosed with an expressive language disorder, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) must do a thorough evaluation. A comprehensive assessment must be conducted with the help of the child’s family and teachers.ย This evaluation process includes both informal and formal assessments. Formal evaluation comes in the form of standardized tests, while informal evaluation involves interviews, observations, checklists, and language samples.

While both types are essential in providing accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment goals, it is the language sample that provides a clearer picture of the child’s language abilities and conversational skills. Through language sampling, an SLP is able to gain better understanding of the child’s strengths and weaknesses with regards to the key language areas or domains mentioned above.
Our SLPs at Brooklyn Letters conduct language sampling in order to accurately diagnose and assess the needs of your child using the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts or SALT program. The typical expressive language development in young children, aged 12 months to 47 months onwards, is outlined in the Acquisition of Sentence Forms Within Brown’s Stages of Development. This framework is an invaluable tool used by SLPs in conducting a structural analysis of a language sample.
(Related: Find out more about language sampling in this article on the Structural Analysis of a Language Sample.)
Read more about:

During this phase, speech language pathologists will need to know the child’s:

  • full case history (including birth and medical records; history of language, speech, reading, or academic difficulties in the family; languages or dialects spoken at home; and, the family’s and teacher’s own observations and concerns)
  • spoken language skills (phonology and phonological awareness, semantics, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics)
  • level of reading and writing (if the child is school age)
Expressive language disorder

How to Treat an Expressive Language Disorder

Once a diagnosis is made, the SLP will conduct further analysis and observations before creating an individualized program. However, it is important to remember that therapy will not offer a permanent โ€œcureโ€ for the disorder. Instead, SLPs can equip children with strategies and techniques to help them manage their condition.

Therapy methods can vary, depending on the therapist and the childโ€™s needs. Modeling target behavior is one technique where the therapist models and reinforces aspects of speech that need to be targeted, such as sounds, vocabulary, and grammatical structure.

Some areas that SLPs address are:
