Sheffield’s Speech and Language Therapy Service is offering free online DLD training.
Developmental language disorder affects at least one in thirteen children. Training will help you support those with diagnosed and undiagnosed DLD needs.
1. Introductory Module – this needs to be completed before other modules
Module one is split into four sections of 30 minutes. It covers
- What Speech, Language and Communication needs (SLCN) are
- What a Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is
- Impacts of having a DLD
- How to support children and young people with DLD in the classroom
When you have completed the module, you then have an option to:
- Attend a half day in-person practical session where visual support strategies and cued articulation will be discussed in more detail.

2. Vocabulary Module
This new module follows the introductory DLD module. You need to complete the introductory module before accessing this module. In this module, we will cover difficulties encountered with learning new vocabulary as well as word finding difficulties - these are both common areas of difficulty experienced by children and young people with DLD.
When you have completed the module, you then have an option to:
- Attend a half day in-person practical session looking at both 1:1, small group and whole class approaches to vocabulary teaching.
