We got a date (Oct 16 Friday) and a theme (Together for DLD) for DLD day! Let's start making plans today to DO something together WITH someone for DLD! DLD refers to Developmental Language Disorder--difficulties with understanding, using and learning language. #DLDday @radld.bsky.social

Because many people think that DLD is something people grow out of adults with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) go unseen. We are here to amplify their voices! Check out these short videos on YouTube www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #DevLangDis

Creating an Inclusive Classroom for DLD: A Teacher's Toolkit to Support Children with Developmental Language Disorder

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) affects an average of two children in every mainstream classroom, yet it continues to be a relatively unknown condition.

DLD is different in each child, but looking back many parents remember a time that their child's language stood out, like Nichole here who noticed her child struggling with literacy and spoken sentences. This example is of a child, but it affects adults too. #DLDday #DevLangDis radld.org
