Acknowledgment of country

‘In the spirit of reconciliation The DLD Project acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.’

OUR VISION

A world where people with DLD are recognised, understood and empowered to live their best life.

OUR MISSION

To be the most trusted provider of evidence based DLD information, resources and training in Australia.

OUR Values

We celebrate the individual
We do more with less
We breathe, reflect then act boldly
We make lives better, today

WHAT DOES THE DLD PROJECT DO?

DLD Project on laptop

Extensive and evolving research tells us what works best for people with DLD but unfortunately these learnings and insights sit in the hands of a few.

The DLD Project, overcomes these roadblocks by providing an online platform that distributes evidence-based information, resources and training created by contributors from around the globe.

In addition to offering loads of free and paid tools and resources to support the Australian DLD community a portion of the proceeds goes to funding game changing DLD advocacy and research initiatives.
