Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a hidden, but common lifelong condition that makes understanding and talking difficult. It is estimated that 2 children in a class of 30 students will experience DLD, which impacts their academic achievement (Norbury et al., 2016; Ziegenfusz et al., 2022).

DLD is 50 times more prevalent than hearing impairment and five times more prevalent than autism (McGregor, 2020). It is important that all teachers have a strong understanding and awareness of DLD and the strategies to support students with DLD at school.
