ABOUT IDLDRC

The International Developmental Language Disorder Research Conference provides a platform to share research about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). 

IDLDRC, now in in its fourth year, continues to overcome a myriad of roadblocks that prevent the sharing of learnings 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. The 2024 DLD Research Grant is valued at $10,000 AUD. 

Due to our lower conference registration fee in 2023, this years $10,000 grant would not have been possible without the fundraising efforts of Robert Wells, Cindy Stirling and the incredible DLD ambassadors in Western Australia. Thank you!

Read on for more details about the grant guideline and timelines.
