New review looking at what is currently known about DLD across the lifespan. Annual Research Review: Developmental language disorder – a hidden condition with lifelong impact doi.org/10.1111/jcpp... #SLPeeps #DevLangDis

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, 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.

You can’t see DLD – but it is time the world did Written by: Natalie Waters

Awareness is important, but we also need more research about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). So we are especially happy to see this post from the Oxford Department of Education talking about DLD awareness and research.

I originally thought this thread would take a few days, but it took me two weeks!
If you're new to Developmental Language Disorder, then this is a good introduction.
And if you're a #DevLangDis aficionado then please share.
Everyone needs to know about DLD.
#DLDday @radld.bsky.social

Every day this week we will post one sign of a developmental disorder – you have to put the clues (signs) together to figure out which disorder we are describing!

Check back tomorrow for another clue!

#DevLangDis #DLD #youcantseeDLD

DLD is a lifelong condition and it does make lots of things more challenging. BUT once a person's needs are identified and they are supported they can thrive.
This is why we need far more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)! www.naplic.org.uk/developmenta...
