LANGUAGE AND LITERACY IN YOUNG PEOPLE is investigating the theoretical underpinnings of DLD with a focus on research that adds to the evidence base for assessment and interventions/treatment for both clinicians and educators.

 

The term ‘Developmental Language Disorder’ (DLD) is used when children’s language development is significantly disordered, and this cannot be attributed to neurological, psychosocial, or physical delays or disorders

(Bishop, Snowling, Thompson, Greenhalgh, & CATALISE-2 Consortium, 2017; http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jcpp.12721/full).

DLD has replaced terms such as specific language impairment (or SLI).
