Every child has the potential to learn and the right to have that potential met, regardless of their culture, language, or abilities.

Chaque enfant a le potentiel d’apprendre et le droit de le réaliser, peu importe sa culture, sa langue ou ses capacités.

Our message is really simple.
There are quite a lot of people who find understanding and using words and sentences tricky.
They need to have their needs identified and supported.
That's it.
#DLDday is on Friday. It's your chance to change the future for people with Developmental Language Disorder
You can't see DLD, and so many people's needs are missed. They go through life struggling, never knowing that there is a reason why things are so hard for them.
Learn about it here: radld.org/about/dld/dl...

Not to be missed if DLD is important to you or anyone else you may know who is impacted by DLD either directly or indirectly.

Providing language assessments and support for our children in a culturally responsible way is the change we need in Education.

Great book that you can also order from your favorite bookstore. Enjoy!
Super proud to say that my second children's book Lily and the Magic Notebook is now available for purchase. There's a lot of me in this book, so I really hope it resonates with children 4-10 as much as it would have if I had it at that age. 🥹
