🗣️ Developmental Language Disorder Day – 17 October 2025

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) affects 1 in 14 people, causing difficulties in understanding and using language with no known cause. DLD Day helps shine a light on this hidden but common condition.

Why It Matters

  • Children with DLD often struggle at school and may find it harder to make friends.
  • Without the right support, DLD can impact education, employment, and mental health.
  • Increased awareness leads to earlier recognition and better support.

Signs of DLD

  • Trouble finding the right words or forming sentences.
  • Difficulty understanding spoken instructions.
  • Challenges with reading, writing, or storytelling.
