Developmental language disorder (DLD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. Yet, it is a hidden disorder: it can go undetected for years and may not be uncovered until academic, beh...

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

You can't see DLD, and so many people's needs are missed. They go through life struggling, never knowing that there is a reason why things are so hard for them. Learn about it here: radld.org/about/dld/dl... #DLDday #DevLangDis

Awareness is important, but we also need more research about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). So we are especially happy to see this post from the Oxford Department of Education talking about DLD awareness and research. www.education.ox.ac.uk/news/you-can... #DLDday #DevLangDis

I originally thought this thread would take a few days, but it took me two weeks! If you're new to Developmental Language Disorder, then this is a good introduction. And if you're a #DevLangDis aficionado then please share. Everyone needs to know about DLD. #DLDday @radld.bsky.social

Word Aware@wordaware.bsky.social · 10mo ago

#DLDday is coming, so I’m starting a thread over a few days. DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is all about spoken language. Words and sentences are tricky for people with DLD. And people don’t grow out of it. #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

Every day this week we will post one sign of a developmental disorder – you have to put the clues (signs) together to figure out which disorder we are describing! Check back tomorrow for another clue! #DevLangDis #DLD #youcantseeDLD

DLD is a lifelong condition and it does make lots of things more challenging. BUT once a person's needs are identified and they are supported they can thrive. This is why we need far more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)! www.naplic.org.uk/developmenta... #DevLangDis #DLDday

#DLDday is coming next week, so now is a good time to check out the Developmental Language Disorder starter pack. #DevLangDis go.bsky.app/FMV4dou

🚨 Only 4 days until #DLDday! 💜💛 And today is Myth-Busting Monday! As the countdown continues, we've tackled these common misconceptions, and more, in our latest blog 👇 🔗 www.moorhouseinstitute.com/7-myths-abou... #DevLangDis #DLD @radld.bsky.social
