I’m looking for a kind person to be willing to speak at our online NAPLIC CPD session in Sept. The group is for anyone working in SLCN provisions. Our topic for the upcoming A/year is SLCN and literacy and would love someone to be able to kick off the discussions. #DLD #SLCN

[Speech and Language UK @SpeechAndLangUK]

Children with speech and language challenges are more likely to struggle with their #MentalHealth. Read our new report to find out what needs to change.🌈

YOU can make a difference today: give a gift and add a message of support to our wall of hope!👇

Language impacts all areas of life. Being able to create a narrative is an important skill. Great to be able to support these CYP in creating narratives and collaborating with @SurreySLTteam

[de Stafford Jenkins Centre @deStaffordSEN]

CYP with language difficulties often struggle to create narratives. We are so proud of our yr 7 group creating great stories using their narrative planners and picture cues. Thanks to @SurreySLTteam for supporting us in our centre @deStafford #slcn #DLD #dayinthelife

One week until #DLDDay. @destafford we are planning how we can #speakup for #DLD. Watch this space.

[de Stafford Jenkins Centre @deStaffordSEN]

The #DLD Bubble toolkit has been created to support practitioners by highlighting areas that people with #DLD struggle with on a daily basis. It provides strategies, activities and resources to support young people in the classroom #DLDDay @deStafford

[de Stafford Jenkins Centre @deStaffordSEN]

Did you know that #DLD stands for Developmental Language Disorder & although it is a hidden disability it is common, affecting 1 in 14 people? That’s 2 in every classroom.
@deStafford we use key strategies to support our young people with #DLD #DLDDay #foodforthought
