Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)

15th Oct 2021

Research shows that many children with trouble learning at school or communicating with others have an undiagnosed neurodevelopmental condition called Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)

People with DLD are 6 times more likely to suffer from anxiety and 3 times more likely to have clinical depression. They are also at significant risk of struggling with reading, spelling and mathematics. Students with DLD can succeed at school when they are identified and access the right support.
