Four Resources Model

The Four Resources Model explains how we understand language by focusing on four key areas: hearing (auditory skills), understanding meaning (semantics), organizing our thoughts (organization), and speaking (expression). It emphasizes that difficulties in any of these areas can affect communication. For example, someone might hear words clearly but struggle to connect them meaningfully or organize their thoughts to speak fluently. This model helps therapists identify specific areas to support individuals in improving their language skills, ensuring targeted and effective interventions.
