@SusanGuthrieSLT @LeedsandYorkPFT @LypftResearch @LeedsHealthcare Totally agree - I’m seeing a man next week, from what he told me I suspect undiagnosed DLD. He hasn’t disclosed a mental health condition, but is in a really difficult situation with social services that he can’t explain fully. NHS won’t see these people - he’s not my first…

Unrecognised difficulties in communicating prevalent in adults w mental illness. Need to think- could this be #DLD ? Need to understand impact on adult life if communication is impaired @LeedsandYorkPFT @LypftResearch @LeedsHealthcare

@leon_clarkson @HeadwayUK @HeadwayLincs @_rehabilitate You were fab Leon! 😀
