Receptive language refers to how we understand spoken words, the language around us, and the ability to hear/understand/comprehend spoken language.

👂Receptive language can include spoken, written, and implied language. It is the intake of information, therefore receptive language can include un-spoken words.

🗣️Expressive language, in contrast, refers to the use of language to communicate with others. Expressive language is “expressed” through speech, sign, written words, picture symbols, gestures, body language, or alternative forms of language to communicate wants, needs, thoughts and ideas.

❓What does this mean for daily functioning in every day tasks? SO much! Language is needed for learning, play, communication with others, understanding directions, safety, and participation in everyday activities. Functional participation requires receptive language in order to thrive and communicate wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas. Let's explore this more...https://www.theottoolbox.com/receptive-language/

Do you know the difference between being ambidextrous & having mixed dominance? ✋🤚

Let's break down some of the terms you may have heard:
👉Ambidextrous refers to use of both sides of the body in equal ability and refined dexterity. This can refer to a bilateral refined movement and skill in the hands, feet, and eyes. Ambidexterity is the ability to use both hands equally well. It means that a person can perform tasks with either hand without any noticeable preference.

👉Cross dominance refers to a situation where a person’s dominance does not favor one side over the other. In simpler terms, it means that your child hasn’t developed a clear preference for using either their right or left hand for tasks.

👉Mixed dominance is an other name for cross dominance. It can extend beyond just hand preference and also involve other body parts like the eyes or feet. For example, a child with mixed dominance may have a dominant hand different from their dominant eye or foot. This means that their dominance is spread across different sides of their body.
