Today marks an awareness day for DLD (Developmental Language Disorder).
DLD is the most prevalent childhood disability with an average of 2-3 students presenting with DLD in every Irish classroom. A student with DLD experiences difficulties with language and communication that can significantly impact learning, literacy, behaviour and well-being. DLD also prevails into adulthood, with a prevalence rate of 7.5% across the population.
