The Talking DLD Podcast brought to you by The DLD Project aims to connect families, educators, and health professionals through motivational and at times, game-changing conversations about all things DLD. We will share parent perspectives, engage health professionals, educators and academics to share their findings and experiences and we'll also ask the tough questions of those who are in a position to improve the lives of people with DLD, today. Our vision is a world where people with DLD are recognised, understood, and empowered to live their best life. For evidence-based DLD information, resources, and training head to thedldproject.com.

Does speaking more than one language cause DLD?This is a question we often hear from families who speak two or more languages at home.
The short answer is NO. DLD affects people who speak only one language AND people who speak two or more languages.In fact, being multilingual may actually be beneficial!
In this episode of The Talking DLD Podcast, Emily Hunt, speech pathologist and PhD candidate at Edith Cowan University talks to us about her work investigating the diagnosis of children with DLD who speak 2 or more languages.
