Today is #DLDday! The day we raise awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). RADLD Chair, Stephen Parsons @WordAware urges everyone to get involved. Keep sharing, creating and interacting with #DLDay posts. Together we are 'speaking up for DLD'

Stereotypes around #DownSyndrome can stop those with the condition being treated like other people and receiving the support to reach their full potential, whatever that may be. This #WDSD24, let’s celebrate our individuality and #EndTheStereotypes! #WouldntChangeAThing

AAC Memorable Moments: “A teaching assistant told me that a student was really excited when he realised he could use his AAC device to participate in the harvest service, and he kept checking that the volume was turned all the way up so he could be heard.” #AACaware23

AAC Memorable moments: “We had been modelling using symbols in communication books with this boy for at least a year. Today he used it for the first time, by pointing to the “goodbye” symbol when an adult left the room. It was a really powerful and emotional moment.” #AACaware23

AAC Memorable moments: “A child was clearly looking at me and used partner-assisted scanning to communicate “weird”. His teacher tried to gloss over it, but the child was very clear in his message. I actually loved that his AAC system was helping him to insult me!” #AACaware23

📢October is AAC Awareness month📢 We work with AAC users in specialist settings and mainstream schools. We will be sharing some AAC memorable moments from our team #AACaware23
