"In this dance we have a very special moment, and I'm doing it for the deaf community." 💖 So much power in the silence of Rose and Giovanni's routine. #Strictly @RoseAylingEllis @pernicegiovann1

DLD Awareness Day is on 15th October. Amelia has substantial challenges in her use and understanding of language, but she has also had excellent support and is thriving. If children are struggling with behaviour, or seem not to be listening… #ThinkLanguage #ThinkDLD
