Receptive/Expressive Language Disorder
This is an excerpt from the paper...
According to Owens (1995), receptive/expressive language disorder can be characterized as a condition involving the impairment of the abilities to receive (comprehend) and/or express oral language. Behavioral dimensions of the condition can include difficulty following directions and listening, failure to comprehend orally read stories, inappropriate responses to questions and other modes of verbal communication, limited vocabulary, difficulty telling stories, and reluctance to participate in activities and tasks involving verbal exchange. The purpose of this paper is to discuss five dimension aspects central to the successful remediation of receptive/expressive language disorder. Specifically, the dimensions that will be discussed in terms of association with receptive/expressive language disorder are: (1) storage and retrieval problems associated with the disorder and methods of intervention to correct or overcome these problems; (2) the learning environment needed to remediate the condition; (3) pragmatics; (4) the relation of storytelling activities to the disorder; and (5) the use of curriculum-based assessment in work with the condition.

skills of their nondisabled peers. According to Lapadat, the students with disabilities demonstrated consistent and pervasive pragmatic deficits in conversation, which were more attributable to underlying language deficits than to insufficient social knowledge.
One interesting study of pragmatic discourse of children with receptive/expressive language disorder was conducted by Whitehurst (1988) who examined for differences in the families of children with and without the disorder. Whitehurst (1988) found that the receptive/expressive language disorder families were substantially similar to families with normal younger children on all but one dimension.
Specifically, findings of the study indicated that the receptive/expressive language disorder families differed from families with normal children in their pragmatic interactions. It was reported that pragmatic language interactions in the receptive/expressive language disorder families were determined largely by children's level of expressive ability.
Interventions for correcting pragmatic deficits. There have been many treatment intervention programs developed to assist children and adolescents with receptive/expressive language disorder to improve their pragmatic s
