Spotlight on Figurative Language:Indirect Language

End the confusion teens with language impairments often have with unique and idiomatic expressions.  These lessons teach them to "get it" and ultimately use these expressions with their peers.

• Implications—understand how combinations of words and their contexts have differing implications
• Indirect Language—differentiate polite from impolite remarks, use indirect language to politely inform
• Sarcasm and Irony—recognize sarcasm and irony and how they differ; recognize the inappropriate use of sarcasm
