Madam Speaker, Procedure · 18 words I rise today to mark international developmental language disorder day, or DLDday, which is taking place next Friday.1 Procedure Claims · 108 words DLD was once known as dysphasia, 2 and despite the fact that it affects 7.5% of the Canadian population, it remains misunderstood.3 It is characterized by persistent difficulties in acquiring and using spoken and written language in relation to sounds, grammar and vocabulary.4 It is also often associated with other comorbidities, such as attention deficit disorder and impaired fine motor skills.5 All too often, those affected are mistakenly regarded as incapable or insubordinate, which obviously has an impact on their self-esteem, education and work. That is why many of us in the House today are wearing the yellow and purple ribbon of Quebec’s DLD advocacy group, Regroupement TDL Québec.6 7
