When thinking about DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) it’s easier to focus on the spoken part & forget that it also involves understanding. DLD makes understanding words and sentences hard too. Shorter sentences, simple vocabulary & pausing more all help! #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) makes spoken language harder. That does not mean that people with DLD can’t succeed. I have met lots of adults with DLD and the one attribute they share is determination. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is NOT a delay. It exists in adults too. In the UK there is no free-to-access pathway for assessment for adults. Without their needs identified, people with DLD struggle to access support. This needs to change #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

OK, so DLD stands for Developmental Language DISORDER but it helps if you think of it as a difference in how the brain processes language. And whilst people with DLD can learn language, you can’t change the DLD any more than you can autism in an autistic person #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is a difficulty with spoken language, and so to support learning we need to find other ways. Visuals such as images, diagrams and videos can all be used to support understanding and structure expression too. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

Reading is based in spoken language and so people with DLD often find reading challenging. Decoding and comprehension can both be problematic. Many people who are diagnosed with dyslexia also have DLD. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

Life can be hard for many people with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). Other people can treat them badly, and when they try and explain their needs, others react with blank faces. We need way more awareness of DLD! #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is a lifelong condition. There is no ‘cure’ but once needs are identified and support offered, risk factors fall away and people with DLD can thrive. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is common. Around 2 in every class of 30 have it. It’s more common than autism, but because awareness is low most people don’t know they have it. Especially adults. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

#DLDday is coming, so I’m starting a thread over a few days.
DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is all about spoken language. Words and sentences are tricky for people with DLD. And people don’t grow out of it.

Help spread the word about developmental language disorder, a common yet often hidden condition that makes it hard for children to understand what's said to them & to articulate thoughts & feelings. Lots of helpful resources & information at radld.org.
