Today is #StammerAwarenessDay, and I’m proud of my stammer! We should never apologise for the way we speak—our voices matter just as they are. We should own our stammer and show the world that fluency doesn’t define our worth. #ProudToStammer

[Enfield Communication Advisory Support Service @EnfieldCASS]

And that’s a wrap folks! The @EnfieldCASS team saying goodnight to what has been a day full of facts and learning #DLD #RADDLD #DLDday

#DLD affects 1 in 14 people, meaning 2 children in every class could be struggling with speech & language issues. DLD is often invisible, so many children go without the support they need. 🗣️
We exist to help change that. Visit https://t.co/21eFf3bl1w to find out how. #DLDDay

Bolton have been busy ‘speaking up’ for all things DLD. We have been using the child’s voice to share good practice, share information with everyone and anyone and handing out ribbons for RADLD. @RADLDcam @NAPLIC @boltonnhsft @HubRbhs

Have a listen to some of our amazing students speaking up for DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). They talk about how important it is that everyone knows about DLD. They also demonstrate how hidden it can be.

Please share widely

Abraz, a young adult with DLD from the UK has shared these strategies that help him at work:
📷 "For my colleagues and managers to breakdown their language in a step by step format."
📷 "To repeat back information to me a few times so I will be able to remember it easier."
