Hello! I’m Loren. I am mum to 2 lovely boys, 1 of whom has developmental language disorder. I made this book to help us talk about DLD in a way that supports his self esteem. He is an amazing kid and hilariously funny. It has been a joy to see this book used by other parents. #DLD #devlangdis

DLD is a lifelong condition and it does make lots of things more challenging. BUT once a person's needs are identified and they are supported they can thrive.
This is why we need far more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)! www.naplic.org.uk/developmenta...

💜New book! 💜
Last year I wrote a book to help explain a diagnosis of #DLD. Now there’s a new book, but for siblings.
With ideas for how to help, space to think about their own needs, it’s also a tool for parents.
‘My Sister/Brother Has DLD’.
