Supporting Children with DLD, has been developed to help raise awareness of Developmental Language Disorder, and to highlight the impact of the condition from the child’s point of view.

With activities, prompts and sample questions, this is an essential resource to enable adults to understand the reality of living with DLD, helping children feel heard and respected, as well as providing a solid foundation for tailoring support to individual needs. Drawing on specific examples from Harry’s Story, the book does not assume any prior knowledge of DLD and is designed to offer the reader accessible information and practical advice, teaching as you go.

This book:

Highlights the link between spoken and written language, addressing the need to recognise the literary difficulties faced by children with DLD

Provides practical activities and worksheets that can be used to help children express themselves and ask for help

Offers strategies for supporting children’s understanding of language, based on common situations and experiences explored in Harry’s Story

Written to be an accessible introduction to DLD and its effect on children’s lives, this is an essential resource for parents and professionals looking to understand the condition.

Kate Kempton is a community speech and language therapist in Devon, who works with children in early years and school settings. Kate has a particular interest in Developmental Language Disorder and after completing a Masters in Language and Literacy at the University of Sheffield, became increasingly aware of the links between spoken and written language. This led to a further interest in narrative language and the importance of being able to tell and share our stories.
