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.

A common question we hear from families is "how do we tell our child they have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)?". Great question!
In this episode of The Talking DLD Podcast we're speaking with Anna Sowerbutts and Amanda Finer, authors of the book DLD and Me: Supporting Children and Young People with Developmental Language Disorder. Topics covered include:
- When is a 'good' time to communicate a DLD Diagnosis
- Understanding the impact DLD can have on other areas of a person's life
- What families and clinicians might think about when preparing for these conversations
- How families can support their person with DLD to grow their own confidence and self-efficacy around their diagnosis
- Recommendations for clinicians who are supporting families having these initial and ongoing conversations
