Developmental language disorder (DLD)

On average, two students in every class of 30 have a neurodevelopmental condition called developmental language disorder, or DLD.

With the right support, students with DLD can flourish at school, and the organisation Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder has produced a set of resources to help teachers to identify and support those with DLD. These include:

A DLD fact sheet to help you to understand children and young people with DLD
Classroom activities for both older and younger children.
A PowerPoint presentation that can be given to school staff
A poem written by a student with DLD
Posters and infographics that can be displayed in school.
A teacher kit containing all of the above and additional resources concerning DLD awareness day.

Developmental Language Disorder Awareness Day took place on 15 October 2021, but these resources will remain available for education professionals to download and use.

To stay up to date with the work of Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder you can sign up to its newsletter here.
