🧠 DLD vs “Late Talkers”

📣 Not all language delays are the same!
It’s common for parents to hear, “They’ll grow out of it!” when their child isn’t talking much — and sometimes, that’s true. But Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is different from simply being a “late talker.”

Here’s the difference:
👶 Late Talkers
▪ Usually under age 3
▪ May have strong understanding but limited spoken words
▪ Often catch up by school age, especially with support

🧒 Children with DLD
▪ Have ongoing difficulty with both understanding and using language
▪ May struggle with grammar, storytelling, following instructions
▪ Challenges persist into school years and beyond without intervention

🔍 Why it matters:
DLD affects 1 in 14 children and is often invisible. Early identification and support from a speech pathologist can make a huge difference in learning, friendships, and confidence.

💜 If you're unsure, trust your gut. Early support is never wasted.

🟣 DLD Awareness Day – October 18th
🌟 Let’s make the invisible, visible.

Have you heard of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)?
It’s a hidden but common communication disorder that affects 1 in 14 children — that’s at least 2 kids in every classroom.
Children with DLD have difficulty understanding and using spoken language, which can impact their learning, friendships, and confidence. But here’s the thing: they’re smart, capable, and full of potential. They just need support to communicate in their own way.

💬 You might notice a child with DLD:
• Struggling to follow instructions
• Using shorter or simpler sentences
• Finding it hard to tell stories or express ideas
• Having trouble with reading and writing at school
With the right help — like support from a speech pathologist — kids with DLD can thrive!

Let’s raise awareness. Let’s celebrate every voice.
Let’s show kids with DLD: We see you. We support you. You belong.
🟣 Wear purple today to spread the word and make DLD visible.

This DLD Awareness Day, we’re inviting YOU to help make some noise (and wear some purple! 💜) to support children and families living with DLD.

🧡 Kids with DLD Are So Much More Than a Diagnosis
🎉 Let’s celebrate their strengths this DLD Awareness Day!

Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) may have challenges with understanding and using language — but that’s just one part of who they are.

💥 They are:
🎨 Creative – with imaginations that shine through in drawings, building, movement, and play.
😄 Funny – often using humour, facial expressions, or actions to make others laugh!
💪 Resilient – working extra hard to express themselves in a world built on words.
🤝 Kind and caring – forming strong friendships in their own unique way.
A language disorder doesn’t define them. Their value isn’t measured in how many words they use. Their voices matter — no matter how they communicate.

🟣 For DLD month, let’s uplift, understand, and celebrate these brilliant kids.

GUESS THE CLINICIAN!
🎀 This Barbie is all about play, connection, and those magical early language moments! She absolutely loves supporting little ones with their first words and helping families feel confident along the way. You’ll often find her out and about on community visits, bringing her warm and engaging style to schools and day care centres. She’s also instantly recognisable by her amazing Canadian accent 🇨🇦, which everyone in the clinic secretly adores. And when the day is done, she’s probably enjoying some delicious Italian food (her absolute favourite 🍝). With her passion for using play to engage children, she’s the heart of so many families’ journeys. Any guesses which Barbie this is? 💕✨

GUESS THE CLINICIAN!
🐾 This Barbie is the queen of conversations—she loves a good chat and is passionate about supporting kids with complex speech sounds. In her sessions, you’ll often find her following the child’s lead, using play as the perfect way to keep therapy fun and engaging. Her office is filled with the coolest little trinkets that kids can’t help but explore, making it one of the most exciting rooms in the clinic! And when she’s not here, she’s spending time with her two adorable dogs, who she absolutely adores. Any guesses which Barbie this is? 💕✨

Happy guessing!

🧠📚 Phonological Awareness Matters!
Before kids learn to read, their brains need to tune in to the sounds in words — this is called phonological awareness, and it’s one of the most important early literacy skills.
So, what does that mean?
💬 Rhyming – “Cat, hat, mat” helps children hear patterns in sounds.
💬 Blending – Hearing /d/…/o/…/g/ and putting it together: “dog!”
💬 Segmenting – Breaking words apart into sounds: “fish” → /f/ /i/ /sh/
💬 Syllables – Clapping out the beats in words: “ba-na-na” = 3 syllables!
These fun sound-play activities help kids get ready to read and spell. And the best part? You can build these skills anywhere — in the car, at the shops, during story time, or while playing.

GUESS THE CLINICIAN!
💪 This Barbie is all about energy and determination! She’s currently studying speech pathology and is about to graduate at the end of the year 🎓 (we’re counting down with her!). In the clinic, she loves supporting kids with their speech sounds and always brings positivity and encouragement to every session. Outside of work, you’ll find her smashing it at CrossFit and staying super active. And of course, she’s known for rocking a matching set when she walks into the clinic—it’s basically her trademark look. Any guesses which Barbie this is? 💕✨

📚 Happy International Literacy Day 2025! 💬✨

At All Things Speech Pathology, we know that literacy is about more than just reading and writing—it’s about understanding, expressing, and connecting with the world. For many of the children and families we support, building strong literacy skills starts with strong language foundations.
🧠 From understanding stories to sounding out words…
🗣️ From building vocabulary to using AAC to write and communicate…
Speech pathologists play a vital role in supporting children who are learning to read and write in their own unique way.

This International Literacy Day, we celebrate every learner’s journey—whether it’s first words, first books, or finding confidence to share your voice.
Let’s continue to build a world where literacy is for everyone. 💙
