DLD is a difference and not a delay. Professionals need to think hard before using 'language delay.' It may be well intentioned but it can also be misinterpreted by families indicating that children can catch up. #DevLangDis

People speaking different languages work together to advocate for people with Developmental Language Development DLD. This unity begins with the translation of the term itself. In Japanese, it is 発達性⾔語障害. In Korean, it is 발달성 언어장애. In Danish, it is Sprogforstyrrelsen. @radld.bsky.social #DLDday

How's Rachel and DLD mouse? Thank you for cycling over 400 miles up and down UK's peaks in August to raise funds for people to learn more about Developmental Language Disorder. DLD is a life long challenge in using, understanding and learning language. #DLDday is on Oct 16. @radld.bsky.social
There are lots and lots of children in every school who are struggling with learning, literacy and mental health because their language needs have not been identified. DLD needs far greater awareness. Be part of the change. Learn about Developmental Language Disorder at radld.org #DevLangDis
