You’ve probably heard of autism and dyslexia but not many Australians have heard of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). With 1 in 14 people having DLD, it is time we talk more about this hidden but common lifelong disability.

DLD makes talking and listening difficult for no known reason. There are serious and long-term impacts, as it puts children at greater risk of failing at school and struggling with mental health and future employment.  The biggest challenge with DLD is you can’t tell by looking at a person that they have DLD and therefore, DLD individuals often get overlooked for support. 

People with DLD can be as different as you and I. However, it is important to know that with the right supports, DLD individuals can thrive! Watch Jett from Brisbane’s story to learn more.
