Hi. Thank you for this. My 5 year old has recently been diagnosed with DLD. He also has a speech disorder. He’s doing well at school so far with reading but struggles to express himself verbally, very poor grammar, poor narrative skills & word finding difficulties.

Are there any sources of information- websites or books you would recommend to a parent?

Also, we were told he would struggle with reading. He’s actually doing well - average in class. His articulation is very poor but he is reading. Are reading problems common with DLD or should we expect problems as he gets older - or is it not related to DLD?

Thank you. This is helpful. I have signed up and look forward to learning more. His diagnosis has been a relief in a sense - last year we were told he had a severe expressive delay and he received little input for his language. I’m hoping now that he will get more support.
