Teaching Lucas Receptive Language Skills
Video Summary
Georgia, a therapist, is shown working on expressive and receptive language skills with Lucas in his home. Using songs and pictures, Georgia encourages Lucas to pick out animals according to the sounds they make (receptive language), imitate those sounds (expressive language) and name each animal (expressive language). Lucas demonstrates his receptive vocabulary by correctly selecting the duck out of a variety of other animals according to Georgia's purely verbal request: "Which animal says quack?"
