Developmental Language Disorder

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a condition where children have difficulties with language skills, such as understanding or using words and sentences, despite having normal hearing and intelligence. It can affect their ability to communicate effectively, impacting their social interactions and academic performance. Children with DLD may struggle to express themselves, follow instructions, or understand conversations. The exact cause of DLD is often unknown, but early diagnosis and intervention, such as speech therapy, can help improve language skills and support development. It’s important to recognize and address DLD to facilitate effective communication and learning.
