Been working with teens excluded from school. All have #SEND (most commonly ASD/ADHD/DLD) but were either diagnosed too late or not even assessed until after they were excluded. It’s heartbreaking ‘81% of children with behavioural disorders have significant language difficulties’

Training in a school today who really understand the importance of spoken language. How do we get more schools like that? And crucially to take action?

“This book beautifully introduces and explains Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in such a child-friendly way. This is a wonderful & much needed tool that can help a child begin to understand their DLD & start them on the journey to self-advocacy.” Kate Starr, Specialist Teacher #dld #devlangdis

“I would say that when you’re talking about SEND, language is nearly always going to be a part of that, so language should be seen as a central aspect of provision for children with special educational needs, too.” Prof. Charles Hulme.
