DLD Together Australia – October 2026 (Magdalen)

Welcome to the DLD Together Australia family learning portal. Here you will find the links to each live workshop in addition to the slides for each session. You can also comment on each week’s content in the chat.

About DLD Together

‘DLD Together’ is an initiative by two UK charities which focus on Developmental Language Disorder(DLD): Afasic (for families) and NAPLIC (for professionals). They have combined forces with The DLD Project Foundation in Australia because they are aware that families want to know more about DLD and are finding it hard to access information. We collectively believe that well informed and well supported families are essential if children and young people with DLD are to reach their full potential.

Course Aims

For you:

1. To understand DLD and how it applies to your child
2. To develop an understanding of your child’s individual language profile 
3. To develop strategies to support your child at home
4. To learn how you can support your child’s at school
5. To meet other families of children with DLD
