Thanks to tireless campaigning and advocacy from people like Siouxsie and Rachel, DLD was mentioned in the parliamentary SEND debate yesterday 🎉 grateful for all those who attended and made often invisible voices heard.

Victoria Collins MP @victoria-collins.bsky.social · 23d

Yesterday at the @SpeechAndLangUK.bsky.social @dcpcampaign.bsky.social and Let Us Learn Too parliament drop-in, I met Siouxsie and her mum Rachel.

Siouxsie shared how living with Developmental Language Disorder often makes her feel invisible - a reality no child should face 🧵

Our Director, Dr Susan Ebbels, has been in Brazil this week delivering the SHAPE CODING system course at LINFALA 2025.

It was also a perfect opportunity to share our new DLD resources, translated into Portuguese.

Such an inspirational young man with DLD, sharing his experience of school, college and work. #naplic25 #devlangdis

NAPLIC @naplic.bsky.social · Mar 29

Abraz Hussein, an adult with DLD tells his story. He got through primary without much support, but at start of secondary was permanently excluded. Then went to PRU before getting diagnosed and going to a special school for speech and language. Support makes all the difference!

This thread is so true.

Dr Susan Ebbels @susanebbels.bsky.social · Mar 9

One issue though is that it is very hard to get research studies of specialist interventions funded. This is particularly the case for those which are on the boundary of health & education (such as occupational or speech & language therapy).

There is one in Hertfordshire and one in Northern Ireland. Unfortunately the Surrey DLD CEN no longer functions.

Does anyone know of any DLD CENs in the UK please? I found three on the RCSLT directory, but I wonder if there are others? Thanks! #DevLangDis

How can a neurodivergence taskforce not consider the 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in the UK? #DevLangDis

Speech and Language UK @speechandlanguk.bsky.social · Feb 20

If the neurodivergence taskforce wants to make schools better for neurodivergent children, why aren’t the 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder part of the conversation?😣

This is totally unacceptable!

Don't you agree, Department for Education? #TheForgottenMillion
