DLD isn't something that people grow out of, so it exists in adults too.

But because of low awareness there are no services for those with #DevLangDis

So join us on Friday October 17th 2025 in raising awareness of DLD. Theme: 'you can't see DLD.' radld.org #DLDday

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a difficulty with understanding & using words & sentences.
That might seem like a small issue to you, but to people with DLD this can be a huge barrier. The biggest barrier of all is NEXT TO NO ONE HAS HEARD OF DLD.
