Our Vision: To be an informed, dynamic and influential school that builds the foundations of language and communication for lifetime success.
NEMLDC is a specialist school for children who have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). We provide specialist speech, language and academic intervention for children from Kindergarten to Year 2. Staff members work within an interdisciplinary team that includes teachers, speech pathologists, occupational therapist, school psychologist, education assistants and the administration staff.
