This is a repost from RADLD page with some excellent advice from Trumpet Early Years Consultancy here in WA. Great post about supporting children and adults with DLD…..

As a follow up from my previous post and in response to some questions in my DM.

Yes, there are some resources and programs that can help support children and adults with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD):

💛 Language workshops/groups - Speech pathology practices may offer language groups that focus on pragmatic language skills, social communication, resolving conflicts, etc. These spaces allow for practicing skills.

💜 Assistive technology - Apps, text-to-speech programs, e-books can help compensated for reading and writing difficulties associated with DLD.

💛 Accommodations at work/school - Things like extra processing time, written instructions, reduced distractibility settings can be implemented. The Disability Discrimination Act protects access to these. **

💜 Online support communities - Connecting with other adults with DLD on forums provides mutual understanding and coping strategies. Head to https://radld.org/resources/information/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

💛 Further education - Many TAFEs and colleges offer language-enriched learning support for those seeking additional training.

💜 Visual aids - Printed schedules, checklists, reminder prompts make tasks and expectations clear.

💛 Mental health support - Mindfulness programs, CBT therapy can address any anxiety/depression linked to communication challenges. Speak to your GP about The Better Access initiative which gives Medicare rebates to help people access mental health professionals and care, regardless of where they live.

💜 Partnership with vocational services - Getting assistance finding appropriate jobs or disability employment programs.

The more awareness of DLD, the more tailored services and accommodations can be developed to help children and adults live fully in the workplace and community.

Advocacy is key!! We are in this together!! 💜💛💜💛
