It took permanent exclusion and PRU placement for Abraz to get a a diagnosis of #DevLangDis before needs could be met in education. Subsequently he achieved top results at college, has a degree in social work and is the most inspirational guy!! 🙏🌟 Recognising #SLCN can be life changing #NAPLIC25

Abraz Hussein, an adult with DLD tells his story. He got through primary without much support, but at start of secondary was permanently excluded. Then went to PRU before getting diagnosed and going to a special school for speech and language. Support makes all the difference! #NAPLIC25 #DevLangDis

Even if you can't be with us at the conference on Saturday you can still join in. We'll be live posting here and expect others will be too. Just search #NAPLIC25 and like, share and comment like crazy! We want more people to know about DLD. #DevLangDis
