We got a date (Oct 16 Friday) and a theme (Together for DLD) for DLD day! Let's start making plans today to DO something together WITH someone for DLD! DLD refers to Developmental Language Disorder--difficulties with understanding, using and learning language. #DLDday @radld.bsky.social

2025: you can't see DLD Our theme this year is 'you can't see DLD.' So we asked people with DLD to show us things they like doing. And they are a creative and sporty bunch. We have ...

Everyone starts talking at cross purposes and misunderstanding each other. Everything becomes muddled and confused.

You can't see DLD, and so many people's needs are missed. They go through life struggling, never knowing that there is a reason why things are so hard for them.

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.

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.
