SAVE THE DATE | #DLDDAY 2023
FRIDAY 20 OCTOBER 2023
Developmental Language Disorder is a hidden but common disability that affects 1 in 14 people causing difficulties understanding and using language for no known reason. The 2023 DLDday theme is DLD Around the World, highlighting that DLD occurs in every language.
Please contact the RADLD team at hello@radld.org to discuss opportunities to collaborate on DLDday awareness raising initiatives.
#DLDday History
The new terminology of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) was launched in 2017 and our first DLD Awareness Day quickly followed. Each year is becoming bigger and better thanks to the support of people from all around the world.
Developmental Language Disorder Day (#DLDday), now in its seventh year, is celebrated annually around the world with more than 40 countries involved. In 2022, over 80 landmarks from around the world lit up in purple and yellow on or around #DLDday.
