DLD (developmental language disorder) is a difficulty with using and understanding words and sentences. People with DLD need support. We can take simple actions. Here are some for the classroom! @RADLDcam#DLDday
Thanks so much to the Speirs Centre, Alloa, whose chimney lights up purple tonight to raise awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). DLD affects the understanding and talking of 2 children in every class, and persists into adulthood. @ClacksEducation@ClacksCouncil
A good news story now from a young person we work with in FV. This was powerful feedback from their parent, about the impact getting a diagnosis of DLD made. M's now feeling confident to advocate for himself and what he needs, and seeing hope for the future. ☺️#DLDday@RADLDcam
Developmental Language Disorder Awareness Day 2024 is here! We've already been speaking up for DLD this month but today we'll share more information and stories to raise awareness of this hidden but common condition affecting understanding and talking. #DLDday#devlangdis#sltfv
