Social Pragmatic Language Therapy Groups
Social pragmatic language is involved whenever we are in the presence of another person even if we are not directly interacting with that person. Social pragmatic language consists of verbal communication (what one person says to another) and nonverbal communication(what a person’s face or body says without using words). Understanding meaning during social interaction includes both verbal and nonverbal communication. Unfortunately, not everyone can easily master the skills needed in using and understanding social pragmatic language.
The Social Pragmatic Language Therapy Groups at the Center For Communication have been created to help children develop socials skills and master social language. Your child will be evaluated by a Speech-Language Pathologist and will complete assessment activities before being placed in the most appropriate Social Pragmatic Therapy Group.
