What Is The Treatment For Expressive Language Disorder?

My son had an expressive language delay and was treated at 14 months. Now at age 10 I am noticing that socially he is struggling. He speaks about things that he feels confident about and I feel it is alienating him socially. If I were to have him evaluated again (he received speech, physical and currently is receiving Occupational therapy would speech therapy address these issues? We are correcting and redirecting and modeling for him but I am unsure if that is enough. Please advise.

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Expressive language disorder is a communication disorder in which there are difficulties with verbal and written expression. Your son was treated at the age of 14 months. You did not mention for how many days.

Treatment for expressive language disorder depends on its severity, but might include therapy with a speech pathologist. Most of the time, the treatment runs into adolescent periods. I suggest you should evaluate your son again for the problem. I am of the opinion that the problem has not been fully cured. I suggest you consult an ENT specialist and then speech language pathologist.
