Happy DLD Awareness Day! 💜 🧠 🗣️

Today, we’re raising awareness about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people understand and use language, which impacts learning. DLD can affect both children and adults.

Did you know? Bilingualism does not cause DLD and children with DLD can absolutely become bilingual 🧠 You don’t have to choose one language over another! There’s no need to take away a child’s home language to focus on English. Supporting both languages helps children build on their language knowledge, strengthen their communication skills, and maintain meaningful connections with their family, culture, and community. 🫶🏽

Major shoutout to our stellar BABEL undergraduate researcher @marianna.g.martinez for her awesome research and resource ✨🤩👏🏽

Join us in spreading awareness and promoting acceptance and inclusion for all! Every voice matters 💜
