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

Great to meet campaigners at today’s #SEND rally in Parliament Square ahead of the debate this afternoon. We’re calling for urgent, genuine reform so every child with SEND gets the support they need.

Oxford has a terrible homelessness problem. Every year there's a CEO sleep out (yes, chief executives sleep out, no tents) to raise awareness and funds. Take a look, and if you qualify, think about joining in. You can do it without being a CEO btw. oxfordshirehomelessmovement.org/ceo-sleepout

I think most people are surprised to learn RADLD is run by 6 passionate volunteers who meet at weird hours once a month. #DevLangDis

That's the same story that I've heard from people in school and in employment. It's so upsetting to hear 😭

Why are there some people in the world who think that when you finish school and your speech therapy lessons at school, you have grown out of your #devlandis? It isn't just a childhood disability; it is lifelong. #DLDDay #advocacy #DysphasiaPV #FindingAVoice

Here's a question for the Congress: how are speech therapists around the world nurturing the speech of the children after they leave school? Do their jobs finish once the children leave school, or does it continue into their adulthood?

We are working with those missed adults and trying our very best to help in the absence of research with this group. Research funders, charities and researchers, help!

This is something we PASSIONATELY believe in: with support people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) can thrive. Join us on Friday October 17th 2025. The theme this year is 'you can't see DLD.' We really want to make it visible. #DLDDay #DevLangDis radld.org

#IALP2025 7 suggestions for progress: 1. Use backward design - the end in mind: look at adulthood demands and derive research questions, PD activities and service goals

Really useful thread here from @vanigupta.bsky.social about adolescent language. Worth a read. Vani is at #ialp2025, posting live, so give her a follow for more content about Developmental Language Disorder #DevLangDis

If studies of adults with #DevLangDisorder only recruit adults w a history of DLD/accessing services, they risk having skewed samples that don’t include those who were never identified #IALP2025
