Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a lifelong condition affecting 2 children in every average classroom of 30 in the UK. 

DLD is a diagnosis given by a Speech and Language Therapist to people who have lifelong difficulties with talking and understanding words. These difficulties create barriers to communication or learning in everyday life and aren’t due to another condition.
