RADLD-Raising Awareness for Developmental Language Disorder @radld.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

DLD is really very common. Way more common than other well know conditions such as autism. DLD is a difficulty with using and understanding words and sentences. And the biggest problem is that very few people have heard of it. Join our #DLDday campaign on October 17 2025. radld.org

Too right!🙌 Children with speech and language challenges are TWICE AS LIKELY to be unemployed as an adult. By supporting these children as early as possible, we'd not only reduce their need for mental health services and unemployment benefits, we're also giving them essential skills for life.🌈

This is certainly something I need to live by this year. Why are there always so many interesting and vital projects to get involved with?? Saying no is definitely a skill I need to nurture
