Join us for an informative and practical session on Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), designed specifically for teachers and school staff.

This session will unpack:
• The difference between language delay, difficulty and disorder
• How to recognise children who may need support
• Where to refer and how to respond
• Practical strategies schools can use to better support students with language needs

With many children experiencing language challenges that can impact learning, behaviour and wellbeing, building shared understanding across the school community is a powerful step toward better outcomes.

⏰ 4:30pm – 6:00pm
📍 First Steps Count, Taree

Presented by experienced Speech Pathologist Laura Cubirka, this session is a great opportunity to strengthen your practice and connect with others working to support children and young people across the Mid Coast.
