Imagine a landmark in your town or city light up in purple...How amazing would it be for people with Developmental Language Disorder to see a local landmark and to think 'this is for me!'

Members on the international RADLD committee do not get to meet face to face very often. Liza from Minnesota USA met up with Anita at Sydney Australia last week. There were talks on DLD, you bet! As a team, we will begin to make plans for 2024 next week! RADLDcampaign

Here are some ways we can support people with DLD at all times! Perhaps this can be translated and be used in communities where languages other than English is used? RADLDcampaign #devlangdis

The first line of 2023 DLD Day video says 'There are 7000 languages in the world...' People with DLD all struggle with the language(s) they are learning and using. What exactly they struggle with differs. There is much we can do to support them. RADLDcampaign

Moor House, a school in England, shared this info graphic with us. It summarises all the things they did to celebrate DLD Day this year. Perhaps this will provide inspiration for you next year? DLD day in 2024 is Oct 18!
