The Clinical Therapies Society Raise €730 for Greenmount Language Class in Support of DLD Awareness
The Student Clinical Therapies Society raised €730 during their Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Day Bake Sale in October and has donated the funds to the local Greenmount Language Class. The donation will support art therapy and mural painting activities in the school garden. Chairperson Caoimhe McGovern presented the symbolic cheque as part of the initiative to raise awareness of DLD, a lifelong condition affecting two children in every classroom.
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Day shines a light on the millions of children and adults who struggle with understanding and using language despite having no obvious cause for their difficulties. DLD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects how language is learned and processed, making communication, learning, and social interaction more challenging. It affects two children in every classroom.
