DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) exists in every language, but identification requires care as it can be both over and under identified.
Speaking multiple languages does not cause DLD!

Read this thread if you are unsure what DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is

Word Aware @wordaware.bsky.social · 12d

#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.

School can be tough for children and young people with DLD, but when teachers are aware of DLD it all changes.
We have loads of resources on our website which are ideal for schools. So please send this link radld.org/dld-educatio... to a school you know.
