It's almost the end of #DLDday and so here's my thread about Developmental Language Disorder.
If you don't know about DLD then this is for you.
If you know about DLD please share so more people learn about this common but widely unknown condition.

#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.
