Diagnosis matters!
We do hope that people with DLD don't end up in court, but if they do this study showed that juries views are influenced by knowing if a defendant has Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

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!
