Alongside people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and their families, Afasic has been working with NAPLIC, RCSLT and Speech and Language UK to create a new vision for the future.
Launched today, #VoicesForDLD is a movement led by people with DLD and their supporters, working to:
· raise awareness
· allow people with DLD and their families to be heard
· challenge misconceptions
· push for DLD to be recognised, diagnosed and supported
· build pride and identity
It’s time to listen to people with DLD.

“When people with DLD are supported, something remarkable happens – their ideas, skills and talents can reach the world. #VoicesForDLD is making that possible. At Afasic, we are here to support the young people and families leading this change.”
