Kent schools raise awareness of Developmental Language Disorder Kent schools have pulled out all the stops to raise awareness of a hidden, but common condition affecting one in 14 children.

Raising awareness about DLD is something we care deeply about at Speech & Language Link, and we are proud to hear our subscribing schools championing this important work. Well done Hythe Bay Primary for your fantastic celebration of DLD day!
