Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is all about language. But what do we mean by 'language'? Share, print and explain all about language so more people know about DLD. #DLDday is Friday October 17th 2025. Theme: you can't see DLD. radld.org #DevLangDis

This is why Charlene, a teacher, thinks we need more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Why do you? #DLDday #DevLangDis

DLD makes things complicated. Others can't see it, but yet it impacts every day for people with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). So we need way more people to know about DLD. And that's where you come in. Join us on Friday Oct 17 2025. Theme: you can't see DLD. radld.org #DLDday #DevLangDis

If you work with adults with #DevLangDis, then you'll be interested in joining our next network. We've collated the list of assessments practitioners are using. Join us on 26/9 www.naplic.org.uk/events/

Because awareness of DLD is only now starting to grow, we are missing whole generations of adults with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) whose needs were not identified as children. Like Nichole below #DLDday is Friday October 17th 2025. 'You can't see DLD' is the theme. radld.org #DevLangDis

Explaining DLD so people really 'get' it is really tricky sometimes, but this bubble image helps. The image is also available on our website listed as 'DLD bubble resource' on this page: radld.org/dld-awarenes... Share it today #DevLangDis #DLDday

As speech and language specialists, we know the impact DLD can have when left undiagnosed. A must-read from The Independent here: tinyurl.com/ym4rfjtn.

Amazed to see Speech, language and communication needs as front page news in Australia. Just needs to mention Developmental Language Disorder next time! #DevLangDis www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
