The diagnostic conversation with families needs to be handled with care when diagnosing DLD. @1hannahharvey.bsky.social's research revealed some 'varied' family experiences. Check out these slides. #DevLangDis #NAPLIC25

Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) often face challenges in social settings, but that does not mean they don't value friendships. Let's learn from a summary of the article by Cullen et al. (2024). #devlangdis

Children with DLD have difficulties with tasks that are dependent on language ability (e.g., academics). But they have strengths too (e.g., activities of daily living, gross motor) (McGregor et al., 2023). Let's capitalize on their strengths and provide support for their difficulties. #Devlangdis
