Developmental Language Disorder (DLD): A free guide for families – 4th edition
DLD is common. DLD awareness is increasing, but it is still not well understood by the general public.
It’s hard to find evidence-based information that is easy to read. We’ve written a lot about DLD and we wanted to organise our articles, in a logical order.
We put together this guide for children, adolescents, adults and families affected by DLD. Simply skim through for a topic that is interesting to you, and click on the link to get to our free article.
Since the third edition, we’ve updated this guide with some of the latest research. We’ve also expanded it to include more about DLD and learning disorders, as well as emerging issues like artificial intelligence.
If you’d like a free PDF copy of the complete guide, sign up below.
We hope this is helpful!
Cheers David and the Banter Speech & Language team
