ABOUT IDLDRC

The International Developmental Language Disorder Research Conference was held from 19-21 September, 2022 (#IDLDRC), providing a platform to share research about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The conference included more than 50 presentations delivered by researchers from all around the world.

IDLDRC addressed the roadblocks to sharing the learning and insights that sit in the hands of a few, but could potentially change the lives of people with DLD.

Profits from IDLDRC have been dedicated to the establishment of a DLD Research Grant to be awarded in 2023. The research grant is valued at $10,000 AUD. Read on for more details about the grant guideline and timelines
