Flyer on Developmental Language Disorder, prepared by the organisation RADLD (Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder). The flyer has the title "You can't see DLD" and shows a photograph of a boy in a blue short-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers, against a purple background. To the right of him there are lines of text which read: - Started to talk later than his siblings - Has difficulties learning new words - Needs lots of repetitions to follow instructions - Struggles to join activities & discussions The bottom of the flyer says "Support #DLDday on Friday 17th October 2025. Learn more at RADLD.ORG".

Help spread the word about developmental language disorder, a common yet often hidden condition that makes it hard for children to understand what's said to them & to articulate thoughts & feelings. Lots of helpful resources & information at radld.org.

If a person is multilingual, and has #DevLangDis, all their languages will be affected. Take a look at @radld.bsky.social’s fact sheets about DLD written in many languages! radld.org/about/dld/dl... #DLDday

#mysltday @armstrongslt.bsky.social and I ran the SLT stand at @keeleuniversity.bsky.social for #AHPsDay. Lots of questions about the various client groups SLTs are involved in - did you know we work in youth justice, with neonates and clients with swallowing difficulties?

Fantastic #AHPsDay. Recorded videos with a colleague for upcoming dysphagia simulations. Manned the speech and language therapy table with @bammo44.bsky.social at university, and spoke to lots of students and other staff about the profession. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
