DLD day is less than one month away---Oct 16 Friday! The one small action I will do for DLD is to show the video DLD-1-2-3 to my school-age grandnephews and grandniece about Developmental Language Disorder. The video is here www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ-s... What will you do? @radld.bsky.social

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

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

🧵The problem with removing labels (in any context), is that as soon as they go, there is no common language amongst professionals, across schools and other agencies. Everyone starts talking at cross purposes and misunderstanding each other. Everything becomes muddled and confused.

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 (Developmental Language Disorder ) so what does it look like in the classroom? DLD can look like ADHD but you'll also notice that children with DLD have difficulty using words and sentences and understanding, even when they are focussed. radld.org/dld-educatio... #DLDday
