DLD Awareness Day

Friday 15th October, was the Raising Awareness Day about DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) 

The children with DLD have difficulty understanding what people say to them, and struggle to articulate their ideas and feelings.  

To find out more information about DLD and how you can support a person with DLD, be sure to visit the RADLD website.

Also, look out for pictures of Cadbury world all lit up in purple!  

In our school, all the teachers and the children wore purple or yellow clothes and took part in assemblies and discussions about DLD.
