Reading or looking at pictures in a book with your child is a great time to become a question detective 🕵🏻‍♀️🫆🐻📚🧡

‘Wh’ questions are really important as they help children understand information about themselves and the world around them.

Start by asking your child concrete questions including ‘what?’, ‘who?’ and ‘where?’ And then move onto less concrete questions including ‘why?’ And ‘how?’

To help your child understand, you might want to describe what each ‘wh’ question means. For example ‘where’ is a place.

Enjoy! 😊

Supporting a child with DLD 🙂

Lots of tips and advice on how to support your child with DLD 🟣🟡

17/10/2025

Today is

Developmental Language Disorder causes difficulties understanding and using language which has an impact on children including....

🏫 Academic difficulties: children with DLD may find it difficult to understand instructions and express themselves
🩷 Social difficulties: including making friends, taking part in conversations and understanding social situations
🎭 Masking and behaviour: Some children with DLD will mask their difficulties and get frustrated as a result of their challenges.

A diagnosis of DLD is made by a speech and language therapist and with the correct support to meet their strengths and needs people with DLD can succeed 💜💛
