Amelia is Dashing for DLD

Story

I am Amelia. I am nearly 11yrs old and I have Developmental Language Disorder. This means I struggle to understand and use spoken language. When I was very little, I took a long time to develop any language at all, and I needed a lot of help to learn what words meant. Now I’m older, I understand language a lot better, but I do still struggle at times. 

DLD makes lots of things more difficult - we use language for learning, socialising, relaxing and even just working out what to do next. And it’s more common than you might think - 1 in 14 people have DLD! Afasic supports families like mine - families who have children with speech, language and communication needs - including DLD. With the right help children and young people with DLD can do amazing things. 

I will be walking 50 miles over the month of February… while some of this might include my walk to school, I’m going to have to do a lot of extra walking to hit my 50 mile target. Your donations will help Afasic to continue the work they do supporting families of children just like me.

Supporting

Afasic

Afasic is a specialist charity that helps & supports children, young people & families affected by Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) & associated conditions. At least 7% of children & young people are affected by DLD; an average of 2 per school class. Children affected struggle to understand what's being said to them, or get frustrated at not being able to express themselves. Afasic is a parent led charity that aims to ensure children who struggle to communicate have the opportunity to learn & develop their communication skills, enjoy their childhood, and improve their life chances. We also aim to ensure that parents don't feel alone in what they are facing and are able to navigate complex education & health systems to get the support their child needs. What you do is a mission!!! Keep up your great work! Thank you for your time. We run a helpline & organise remote training courses for parents and specialist training for children at key points of transition. Please help to give a child their voice!
