- Developmental Language Disorder: The Childhood Condition We Need to Start Talking About.Abstract:
Using language is a skill that allows us to share our ideas and feelings, to learn in school, and to understand the world around us. Unfortunately, using and understanding language is not easy for everyone—especially for people with developmental language disorder (or DLD). DLD is a hidden but very common condition affecting about 1 out of 15 children. DLD has been given different names in the past, which has sometimes made it confusing for professionals to talk about the condition and for children with DLD to get help. Researchers have studied the different factors that may contribute to DLD, the different types of language problems children with DLD might have, and how children with DLD can be helped. It is very important that we raise awareness for DLD so that the condition will become less mysterious and the lives of the many children who have DLD will become easier.

Abstract: Confusion over terminology for language difficulties ran for almost 200 years and this has hindered awareness and communication. Professor Dorothy Bishop and Professor Maggie Snowling led a consensus process to tackle this issue. In this film Dorothy Bishop explains the consensus process, the agreement to use the term Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and the agreed criteria for this disorder. More information can be found on the RADLD slides on slide share http://bit.ly/DLDconsensus including links to the full articles reporting on the consensus.
