Talking About DLD With Your Child

A common question we hear from families is "how do we tell our child they have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)?". Great question!

In this episode of The Talking DLD Podcast we're speaking with Anna Sowerbutts and Amanda Finer, authors of the book DLD and Me: Supporting Children and Young People with Developmental Language Disorder. Topics covered include:

1. When is a 'good' time to communicate a DLD Diagnosis
2. Understanding the impact DLD can have on other areas of a person's life
3. What families and clinicians might think about when preparing for these conversations
4. How families can support their person with DLD to grow their own confidence and self-efficacy around their diagnosis
5. Recommendations for clinicians who are supporting families having these initial and ongoing conversations
