That’s approximately two children in every classroom.
Understanding Developmental Language Disorder
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a common but little-known condition that affects how children learn, understand and use language. It is not linked to intelligence, children with DLD are just as bright as their peers. They simply process language differently.
For a child with DLD, following instructions, finding the right words, or making sense of a story can take enormous effort. This can affect confidence, friendships and learning across every subject, not just English.
The good news is that with early identification and specialist teaching, children with DLD can flourish. Understanding is the first step, and that’s exactly why Mancel College exists.
Lifelong Impact
With the right support, children with DLD can connect, belong understand and achieve.
