Today is DLD day! The day for raising awareness of Developmental Language Disorder. Around 1.3 million children and young people have DLD, but awareness is now and so they go unidentified and unsupported. This impacts on learning and mental health.

This report by @speechandlanguk.bsky.social makes a strong case for more awareness and better services required for Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Worth a read and share. #DevLangDis #DLDday

It’s nearly ten years since Specific Language Impairment (SLI) was renamed Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) by a panel of international experts.

But 1.3M children and young people with DLD are still overlooked by public services across the UK.

Read our new report>> https://bit.ly/4evHA6a
A quote appears on dark background: "If there is one thing I wish I had, it’s more time to think. Not enough people give me a lot of time to think, and that is really stressful, especially when they move on to the next person, without giving me time. And sometimes people laugh at me because I’m taking too long or I can’t think of a word." The quote is attributed to Maxwell, a young person with DLD. Beside the quote, there's a yellow shape with a shouting megaphone character and a report cover with text that reads: "The lost decade. Why have 1.3 million children with DLD been missing from public services in the UK?"
