DLD (developmental language disorder) is a difficulty with using and understanding words and sentences. People with DLD often do not get the support they need. Let's begin by learning about DLD from people with DLD and their families! DLD day is Oct 18! @RADLDcam #DLDday
Tomorrow is #DLDday. This year's theme is 'Speak Up for DLD'. As speech pathologists, we must diagnose #DLD when the criteria are met, regardless of our own views. 🧵 1/8
(5/7) These slides also explore the impacts that #DLD can have on court users, including difficulty understanding and using words (and particularly less 'everyday' words, widely used in legal settings) such as 'remorseful'. #CriminalLaw #FamilyLaw #LegalTwitter #DLDday
