We're excited to share our new awareness-raising video just in time for #DLDday! This passion project highlights that Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) affects people everywhere, regardless of background. DLD impacts how language is learned and used. But too often, its challenges are unseen and misunderstood. We want to change that by spreading knowledge about DLD far and wide. This video features facts about DLD from educators to students to families, their involvement illustrating their commitment to shining a light on this disorder.

Our message is clear - every child, teen and adult with DLD deserves to get the support they need to thrive. Families should not have to constantly explain an invisible difference.

So help us make DLD visible! Download and share this video over the next 4 days leading up to #DLDday on October 20th.

Together, through empathy and awareness, we can build a more inclusive world for all.

A big thank you to all who shared their voices for this project. Your passion and bravery will help countless others.

A shout out to my brother for supporting me with the audio and beautiful music - the title of the song very fitting, “Hey Listen!” by @christdawn & @Blastique @milehighsounds.

Let's get the conversation started! 🔊💜💛#dldaroundtheworld #radld

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is still very much a hidden disability. DLD impacts people all over the world from all socio-economic backgrounds.

This year's theme recognises that DLD is ‘developmental’ which means it starts in childhood, but it doesn’t go away. As individuals grow, what DLD looks like and how it impacts changes, and the support that’s needed changes too.

It's about 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗟𝗗. Thank you to Rocco, Hannah, Aleysha, Max, Maggie and Luke for sharing their dreams, aspirations and achievements with us! Thank you to your families for being such amazing advocates and for allowing us to share your stories. Thank you to Dr Samuel Calder too for your support and advice along the way.

Research shows that there are two children with DLD in every classroom and difficulties often go unnoticed until children get to school. The first step to addressing public health concerns is increasing awareness.

Did you know that 84% of people with access to the internet use social media? This is why it's so important we make the most of this free and easy to use platform to raise awareness. We want to spread the word and tell as many people as possible about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

Below, we tell you about some of the ways to get involved on social media to support the campaign!

What social media platforms can I use?

GET INVOLVED

DLD Awareness Day Activities

Speak at community events. Is there a community meeting you can attend and talk about DLD? Go for it!

Hold a stand. School foyers, train stations, lunch rooms at work. Wherever there is a crowd, a stand would be great.

Hand out resource packs to community services. Services supporting the community who are likely to encounter people with DLD (so every service) would benefit from you stopping by and dropping off some resources. Why not challenge them to support DLD Awareness Day by wearing purple and yellow on the day.

Put up posters. We've got a heap of FREE posters online. Download them and put them up everywhere.

Change your email signature or screensaver. It is a simple but effective way to spread the word to people you know.

Make t-shirts. The RADLD logo is freely available on our website, so why not download it and get creative with your clothing!

Host a lunch and learn session. Get your colleagues together and talk to them about DLD. You can show them one of our Youtube movies.

Put RADLD stickers on everyone and tell them why the need to know and support DLD!

Make and hide #DevLangDis rocks for the public to find. How cool is this idea?! One of our Ambassadors came up with this great way to make the general public more DLD aware. Simply decorate the rocks and hide them all over the community. You could even add an ask for them to share their find online with their networks.

Organise a light up event for a local landmark.
