Hello! I’m Loren. I am mum to 2 lovely boys, 1 of whom has developmental language disorder. I made this book to help us talk about DLD in a way that supports his self esteem. He is an amazing kid and hilariously funny. It has been a joy to see this book used by other parents. #DLD #devlangdis

Spotted in a staff room of a school I was visiting today! My eyes nearly popped out of my head. Can you spot it? The #RADLD bubble out in the wild. #DLD awareness is spreading! #devlangdis #DLDday

DLD is a lifelong condition and it does make lots of things more challenging. BUT once a person's needs are identified and they are supported they can thrive.
This is why we need far more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)! www.naplic.org.uk/developmenta...

😆 PG rating! Mine is for very little kids so hopefully I don’t get one 😁

Loren @meetdld.bsky.social · 7d

😆 I guessed/ hoped so!

Loren @meetdld.bsky.social · 7d

That may be a typo but is accidentally accurate 😆

💜New book! 💜
Last year I wrote a book to help explain a diagnosis of #DLD. Now there’s a new book, but for siblings.
With ideas for how to help, space to think about their own needs, it’s also a tool for parents.
‘My Sister/Brother Has DLD’.

Such a useful summary. I will definitely be watching the recording on the NAPLIC website to go back over all the information shared! So much to digest and all really helpful. 👏 Thanks for arranging this talk 💜💜💜

Loren @meetdld.bsky.social · 9d

One of my favourite parts of the talk. Makes me think of the “think language” campaign. Such a simple message but so important in a field dominated by phonics.

Happy #idob. 🥚🐂 I had a busy day taking part in my 1st ever podcast with @sunshinechrissa, @hananaharvey, Anna & Genna. It’s always a pleasure talking about our research project into parents’ experiences of receiving a DLD diagnosis. DLD Awareness Day will be 17th October💜. #dld #devlangdis #dldday

Yes! Lots about ‘delay’ and ‘speech not what it should be’ in the article that felt a bit clumsily worded. Good to have something in the news though!
