Remembrance Day is an annual event held on November 11 to honour the end of World War I and to honor all those who have died in conflicts. It is also known as Armistice Day. A 2 minute silence is held at 11am to mark the moment the fighting ended in 1918. We will remember them.

Some of our Speech and Language Therapists and Students were raising awareness for Development LanguageDisorder (DLD for short) today at Glebefields Health Centre, Tipton.

#DLD #DLDday2025

[Children's Therapies @SandwellSPOT]

Today is #DLDday2025 DLD is when a person has significant on-going difficulties understanding and/or using spoken language. DLD is not cause by any other medical condition. DLD affects around 2 children in every class of 30. Almost 700,00 people in England have a diagnosis of DLD

[Vanessa SLT @Nessa_lloyd]

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) affects 1 in 14 people, yet it’s often hidden.

DLD can impact learning, friendships & everyday life across the lifespan.

💛 Raising awareness means more understanding, support & inclusion 💜

It’s that time of year again where WMSLT are all ready to get involved in all the fun and action involved in #DLD awareness day! 🙌
This year, the theme is ‘You can’t see DLD’ emphasising that while DLD may not be visible, it is still present and common. #devlangdis

We’re celebrating our colleagues who have today received their long service recognition for 20+ years with the #NHS 🎉 A huge well done well done to you all and thank you for the knowledge, skills and experience you bring to the teams each and every day 🙌

[Vanessa SLT @Nessa_lloyd]

There’s nothing like an end of service report to get you reflecting on the year’s progress. It can sometimes be hard to see the differences you make in the moment but looking back over the last 12 months, I could not be prouder of our little AP SALT team 🥰 @SandwellSPOT

Thanks again @NAPLIC and all the speakers for an amazing day!

[Children's Therapies @SandwellSPOT]

Some amazing and thought-provoking talks at the @NAPLIC conference today! Here is a thread of some of our highlights of the day ⬇️

[Children's Therapies @SandwellSPOT]

BCU and a panel of parents explained the research they've carried out into how we deliver DLD diagnoses. It made us think about the changes we can make as a team to make this a more positive and less overwhelming moment for the families we support!
