RCSLT and NAPLIC webinar: DLD – When is diagnosis appropriate?
This free webinar was held on 4 November 2020 to consolidate and extend understanding of and confidence with developmental language disorder (DLD) diagnosis.
Objectives:
- To refresh knowledge of DLD diagnostic terminology and criteria
- To reflect on thorny issues in relation to DLD diagnosis
- To go through case study examples of DLD diagnosis being given and not given
- To provide an opportunity to ask questions about DLD diagnosis
- To launch a survey on DLD diagnosis
- To celebrate DLD day
Watch the recorded presentations
The webinar prompted a useful discussion about diagnosing DLD in a bilingual child. We are keen to clarify the RCSLT’s guidelines in this area and so we’ll be providing additional resources and case studies to support you in your practice.
