How can you support someone with developmental language disorder?

Supporting someone with DLD requires patience, understanding, and practical strategies. Helpful ways to support include:

• Speaking slowly and using simple, clear language.
• Giving extra time to process information and respond.
• Using visuals, gestures, or written prompts.
• Encouraging rather than correcting, to build confidence.
• Working with speech therapists to reinforce strategies at home, school, or work.

Support is not just about therapy—it’s about creating an inclusive environment where communication feels safe and achievable.
