About this event

The theme for Developmental language disorder day 2026 is "You can’t see DLD"

On average two students in every class of 30 have a neurodevelopmental condition called Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (RADLD) is an international volunteer-driven organisation working to increase awareness of DLD, a hidden, but common condition affecting 1 in 14 people.

Increased awareness of DLD can reduce social stigmatisation and improve access to specialist and support services. You can support the day by:

  • Sharing content on social media
  • Holding an event
