Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a difficulty with using and understanding words and sentences. This often goes undiagnosed meaning people with DLD do not always get the support they need.

[Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust @LG_NHS]

Developmental Language Disorder is a hidden disability that affects 1/14, causing difficulties understanding & using language. Our Speech & Language Therapy colleagues love making these videos with our young service users to raise awareness. Happy #DLDday https://t.co/wZN20jNEo0
