Today is DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) Awareness Day.

DLD affects approximately 2 children in every classroom yet most teachers (and the general public) have never heard of it. We need more awareness.

Difficulties in understanding and/or using language affects children’s access to education and continues into adulthood. DLD is lifelong but the right support and strategies can make a huge and positive impact on life chances.

It is especially important that teachers learn about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) because on average two children in every classroom of 30 have this hidden condition.
