The DLD Project
E-Learning Providers
The DLD Project is an impact focused social enterprise elevating awareness and understanding of DLD in Australia.
About us
Extensive and evolving research tells us what works best for people with DLD but unfortunately these learnings and insights sit in the hands of a few. The DLD Project, overcomes these roadblocks by providing an online platform that distributes evidence-based information, resources and training created by expert contributors from around the globe. In addition to offering loads of free and paid tools and resources to support the Australian DLD community a portion of the proceeds goes to funding game changing DLD advocacy and research initiatives.

Check out our new guidelines for creating accessible research summaries for the Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) community! #DLD #DevLangDis ARTICLE: https://lnkd.in/gTuArgZC OPEN ACCESS ARTICLE: https://lnkd.in/gun-wYGq GUIDELINES AND EXAMPLES: https://osf.io/ydkw9/ A lot of research goes to waste. This is partly because researchers rarely share their results with the non-scientific community. People with communication disorders might find it hard to understand research papers. We made guidelines to help researchers explain their research to people with DLD, in written, visual, podcast and video formats. Creating and sharing accessible research summaries can help your research reach more people and can make more of a difference for people with DLD!

You did it! Thanks to the amazing generosity of the organisations and individuals listed in this short video groundbreaking Australian research into the functional impacts of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is now getting underway. Led by Dr Samuel Calder from the University of Tasmania and his team, this research will be invaluable to support NDIS advocacy and service planning for people with DLD. This project was 100% crowdfunded by YOU. We are stronger and more impactful when we work together for what matters - a fair go for people with DLD. THANK YOU!

It is #DLDday and we need your help! Only 159 people with DLD have gained access to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) despite DLD impacting an estimated 2 million Australians. It's a start but not good enough. We get stuck explaining DLD to the NDIS in their language. We have a critical research project we need to fund to map the 'Functional Impacts' of DLD to show how the condition meets NDIS criteria. We are now just under $4,000 away from fully funding this research. Can you make a tax deductible donation TODAY in honour of DLDday to show you care about helping people with DLD gain access to the NDIS? Please donate here: https://lnkd.in/gfRMft5X

Parker and Lou are the backbone of DLD advocacy in Australia. We celebrate them this #DLDday for sharing their story and helping us to raise awareness of DLD. Thank you!
On DLD Awareness Day, we acknowledge the significant impact of developmental language disorder (DLD), a hidden but common disability affecting 1 in 14 people. It causes difficulties in understanding and using language. To gain insight into the experiences of individuals with DLD, we invite you to watch Parker's story, a young person who approaches life with enthusiasm. With a passion for photography, basketball, and skydiving, Parker shows how he overcomes communication challenges to live a vibrant and fulfilling life. For the full video on Parker’s story, visit the Communication Hub: https://bit.ly/3zZrroN #SpeechPathology #DLDday 💜⭐

Empowering People with Developmental Language Disorder: A Push for Greater Inclusion Did you know that 1 in 14 people live with Developmental Language Disorder (#DLD), a hidden yet common condition that makes everyday communication a challenge? DLD affects the ability to understand and use language, often leading to struggles in education, employment, and social settings. Despite being more prevalent than hearing impairment and autism, DLD remains largely invisible to many, leaving millions feeling isolated and unsupported. On Friday, 18 October, 2024, we’re speaking up for DLD! This #DLDDay, let's come together to raise awareness, challenge the stigma, and advocate for better support systems. Whether it's accessing speech pathology services or improving understanding in schools and workplaces, everyone with DLD deserves the opportunity to thrive. Join the conversation, learn more, and be part of the change. Visit TheDLDProject.com to explore ways you can help empower people with DLD to reach their full potential. Together, we can make a difference! #SpeakUpForDLD #DLDAwareness2024 #RADLD #TheDLDproject Read about DLD in full on our website: https://lnkd.in/gNeDXWdT More information: Natalie Turner, Co-CEO and Co-Founder Dr Shaun Ziegenfusz, Lecturer, Griffith University | Co-CEO and Co-Founder The DLD Project Email: [email protected] Website: TheDLDProject.com RADLD: https://radld.org/ #InclusiveFutures #ReimaginingDisability Griffith University Research at Griffith Griffith Health Health Group, Griffith University Carolyn Evans Elizabeth Kendall Maretta Mann PhD The Hopkins Centre Jessica Paynter David Trembath Bev Fluckiger Marleen Westerveld Monique Mita Monique Lewis Joanne Nyland (GAICD) Josh Fry

Sending our immense gratitude to the team at Boss Lawyers for donating a $1,500 Peppers Resort voucher to our upcoming Melbourne Cup fundraiser in Brisbane. Corporate support like this shows people with DLD and their families that they are not alone and that there is hope for the future. The funds raised from the event will provide increased support services for families with DLD in Australia. Thank you Boss Lawyers! Join us for Melbourne Cup by purchasing a ticket here: https://lnkd.in/gfNvh7pP
🌟 Boss Lawyers is proud to support The DLD Project Foundation! 🌟 We’ve donated a Peppers Resort Broadbeach gift voucher, valued at $1,500, to be auctioned at the upcoming charity lunch hosted by CloudTec Accountants. All proceeds will go toward raising awareness and supporting individuals impacted by Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). 💜 Friday, 18 October is DLD Awareness Day, a powerful reminder of the invisible struggles faced by millions of children and adults worldwide. DLD affects about 7% of the population—two children in every classroom. It impairs the ability to understand and express language, yet often goes unnoticed, misunderstood as shyness or behavioural issues. For those with DLD, conversations can feel like navigating a maze, creating isolation and frustration. Although more common than autism, DLD remains under-recognized, leading to delays in support. Individuals with DLD are not lacking in intelligence; they just need the right tools and understanding to communicate effectively. With the proper support, they can thrive! 🌟The DLD Project Foundation is making an incredible impact by raising awareness, advocating for those affected, and providing critical resources to help individuals and families navigate this hidden disability. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive future for those with DLD! 🤝 To donate and support this cause, visit: https://lnkd.in/gdHXWMRJ #BossLawyers #BrisbaneLawFirm #CommercialLaw #LegalExperts #Litigation #Insolvency #TrustedLegalAdvice #DLD #TheDLDProject #MakingADifference #DevelopmentalLanguageDisorder #CloudTecAccountants #PeppersResortBroadbeach #SupportLocal #DLDAwareness Boss Lawyers Mark Harley
