RADLD – Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder

How They Help:
Free information, awareness materials and practical guidance to help families understand Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and support children with communication challenges.

Who It’s For:
Parents, carers, educators and professionals supporting children and young people with suspected or diagnosed DLD.

Overview
RADLD is an international not-for-profit campaign focused on helping the public recognise and understand Developmental Language Disorder — a lifelong condition affecting how children understand and use language.
They provide clear, accessible resources explaining what DLD is, how it affects learning, behaviour and social interaction, and what support strategies help at home and school. Their website includes videos, downloadable guides, myth-busting materials and real-life stories from families and young people with DLD.
RADLD does not offer direct therapy but plays a crucial role in helping families understand the condition, recognise signs early and advocate for appropriate speech and language support through the NHS or education.
