DLD (developmental language disorder) is a difficulty with using and understanding words and sentences. People with DLD often do not get the support they need. Let's begin by learning about DLD from people with DLD and their families! DLD day is Oct 18! @RADLDcam #DLDday

[RCSLT 💙 @RCSLT]

It was great to welcome so many SLTs and @BeverleyHarden to RCSLT HQ in London today to talk about the RCSLT’s workforce strategy.

A big thanks to all those who attended today.

I am looking for parents/guardians to complete a survey about experiences when accompanying a child to speech and language therapy, focusing on how they are addressed by therapists.

Happy #DLDday!

I’ve worked with many families who experience guilt by speaking more than one language to their child with #DevLangDis. We should celebrate the wonderful gift of multilingualism!

Let’s spread the word, reduce social stigma, and improve access around the world!

[Chris Kamara @chris_kammy]

A big week ahead.
This Thursday I will be speaking at an event in Parliament, hosted by MP, Saqib Bhatti and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. We will be highlighting issues for children who should be able to receive the specific speech therapy they need, and to raise awareness of CAS (Childhood Apraxia of Speech) & Verbal Dyspraxia. Our aim is to request more funding to recruit speech and language therapists to help the children and to also provide help in schools. We will be begging the government to provide more resources and support for families.
