Researchers discovered most people with DLD have not had their needs identified. This needs to change. We need you to be part of the change. #DLDday, Friday October 17th. The theme is 'you can't see DLD' so let's make it visible. #DevLangDis radld.org

I 💜 this by @sunshinechrissa. Humour is such an important coping strategy and the young adults at NAPLIC confirmed this. ‘Meet DLD’ uses gentle humour to introduce a big idea with a light touch. #dld #devlangdis #radld #tdl #earlylanguage #speechies

In schools who are implementing #oracy approaches, there is lots to offer children with #DevLangDis. Teachers are more aware of language so better identification of DLD. Also talk is explicitly taught. Structure helps those with DLD.

It took permanent exclusion and PRU placement for Abraz to get a a diagnosis of #DevLangDis before needs could be met in education. Subsequently he achieved top results at college, has a degree in social work and is the most inspirational guy!! 🙏🌟 Recognising #SLCN can be life changing #NAPLIC25

Abraz Hussein, an adult with DLD tells his story. He got through primary without much support, but at start of secondary was permanently excluded. Then went to PRU before getting diagnosed and going to a special school for speech and language. Support makes all the difference! #NAPLIC25 #DevLangDis
