The Windward School and The Windward Institute welcomed Tiffany Hogan, PhD, CCC-SLP to present the 2022 Fall Community Lecture on October, 27, 2022. Dr. Hogan, an esteemed researcher in the field of language and reading, presented Developmental Language Disorder: The Highly Prevalent Learning Disabilities Hidden in Plain Sight.
This lecture was timely as recently reported drops in reading proficiency and decades of discouraging literacy rates nationwide (USA) demonstrate the need to address childhood literacy through a comprehensive lens.
One to two children in every classroom have a developmental language disorder (DLD), a learning disability as prevalent as dyslexia but often hidden. What are the characteristics of a developmental language disorder (DLD)? Is DLD different from Dyslexia? How can educators and parents effectively identify and support children with DLD?
