School of Clinical Therapies Marks DLD Day 2026
As a School, we are committed to advancing research and knowledge in this area through the TICLD (Transforming Information on Communication and Language Development) project, which focuses on improving access to information and support relating to children's communication and language development. This commitment was also reflected in the participation of Dr Pauline Frizelle at the International Developmental Language Disorder Research Conference (IDLDRC), where she shared insights from her work and contributed to international discussions on advancing research and support for individuals with DLD.
A key highlight of this year's celebrations was the fantastic contribution of the Clinical Therapies Student Society, which organised a bake sale to raise awareness of DLD and support local schools. Thanks to the generosity of staff, students and visitors, an impressive €750 was raised for Greenmount National School.
The School of Clinical Therapies would like to thank everyone who supported this year's DLD Day initiatives. Together, these activities help build greater awareness of DLD and contribute to creating more inclusive communities for those living with developmental language disorder.
