The team at the BDC lab celebrated Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Day!
DLD is a communication disorder that cannot be explained by any other condition. It is one of the most common developmental disorders, impacting 1 in 14 children in kindergarten. However, it is difficult to identify. DLD can affect a child’s speech, comprehension, reading, and writing. The disorder first emerges in childhood and can have long-term effects on someone’s academic, personal, and professional life. That said, treatment and support are available!
Bilingual children are frequently over- and under-identified with DLD. At the BDC lab, we are committed to serving bilingual families and children with and without language disorders.
