However, I read that DLD can only be in the absence of other diagnoses such as autism. Is this true? He is only 4, so they aren’t quite sure if thé DLD is making it seem like he could be ASD or the other way around. ]]> 2022-01-14 19:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mcsc21/1p15yz2z5cbj8ujb/wish/1992933809 Dyslexia vs DLD https://padlet.com/mcsc21/1p15yz2z5cbj8ujb/wish/1996376216 I'm wondering how you can tell if your child has dyslexia or DLD, or what the major differences between the two are. Also, what does DLD look like in adults? Are they eventually, with good support, able to speak and understand almost the same as everyone else?

During a SALT assessment for DLD, what exactly would a speech therapist be assessing and how would they go about doing this? Would a formal assessment be enough to diagnose a child with DLD?]]> 2022-01-17 21:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mcsc21/1p15yz2z5cbj8ujb/wish/1996641162 Supporting children with DLD IN school https://padlet.com/mcsc21/1p15yz2z5cbj8ujb/wish/1996644134 How best would you recommend supporting kids with DLD in a mainstream school?
Is targeted intervention the best route or can needs be met within the classroom?
Does support look very different between primary and secondary age children?
