Spot the ones starting to run 🤣

Possibly needed a risk assessment. It involved waiting for the lights to turn red, then quickly assembling in the road for a photo then a sharp exit! It was a lot of fun! I like the outtakes…

Thank you @enjoykingsheath for the amazing light up event for #DLDday. We loved it! Great job #birmingham 💜💛💜 @official_jfhasselbaink @laurenmayoakley @radld.bsky.social

DLD is a lifelong condition and it does make lots of things more challenging. BUT once a person's needs are identified and they are supported they can thrive.
This is why we need far more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)! www.naplic.org.uk/developmenta...

Such a good animation 💜

Phew! 😁

😆 PG rating! Mine is for very little kids so hopefully I don’t get one 😁

😆 I guessed/ hoped so!

That may be a typo but is accidentally accurate 😆

💜New book! 💜
Last year I wrote a book to help explain a diagnosis of #DLD. Now there’s a new book, but for siblings.
With ideas for how to help, space to think about their own needs, it’s also a tool for parents.
‘My Sister/Brother Has DLD’.

Such a useful summary. I will definitely be watching the recording on the NAPLIC website to go back over all the information shared! So much to digest and all really helpful. 👏 Thanks for arranging this talk 💜💜💜

One of my favourite parts of the talk. Makes me think of the “think language” campaign. Such a simple message but so important in a field dominated by phonics.

We need every teacher to know about DLD, so please share this link with everyone who works in schools.
