The event aimed to celebrate the voices and creativity of young people with DLD – Lottie's painting was one of the few chosen to be shown at the Houses of Parliament. 

Lottie created a self-portrait titled 'Lottie's Hate List'. Around her portrait, she was inspired to write phrases that she hears every day at school that can feel overwhelming to her. Lottie's artwork sends a powerful message about how demanding and exhausting everyday language can be to young people with DLD. She attended this exclusive event with her Mum and is incredibly proud of herself – just as we are of her. Lottie accesses Speech and Language therapy twice a week as part of Greenshaw's resource provision.
