Imagine a child struggling to understand classroom instructions, unsure how to ask for help. This could be a sign of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), affecting 1 in 14 kids. On #DLDday, let's raise awareness and support those with this often undiagnosed challenge.

https://t.co/abZqKbQ8eC I make a free monthly newsletter with embedded links #11. I am a full-time elementary resource teacher & the links I share are podcasts I've listened to, books I bought, resources I use, and the posts I make are little pockets of PD. Happy Sunday!
