🌟 Do you know what Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) looks like in your teenager?
Many parents aren’t aware of what DLD is — or how deeply it can affect a young person’s learning, confidence, and communication.

🧠 What is DLD?
Developmental Language Disorder is a lifelong condition that makes understanding and using language challenging. It can impact:
✨ School progress
✨ Friendships and social interactions
✨ Mental health and self-esteem
✨ Success and independence in adulthood

If you want to learn more, connect with others, and get real support…
