Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is the new term to replace Specific Language Impairment (SLI). Developmental Language Disorder is diagnosed when children fail to acquire their own language for no obvious reason. This results in children who have difficulty understanding what people say to them, and struggle to articulate their ideas and feelings.
Our Vision – A world where people with DLD are supported to pursue their goals and aspirations.
Our Mission – We partner with the community to foster a substantial increase in international awareness of DLD.
Our Goals:
Developmental Language Disorder is a diagnosis given when a child or adult has difficulties talking and/or understanding language. DLD is hidden and affects approximately 2 children in every classroom, impacting literacy, learning, friendships and emotional well-being. Support from professionals, including speech and language therapists and teachers, can make a real difference.
Our website provides resources that explain what DLD is, the impact it can have, how to get help and how to raise awareness.
