Developmental Language Disorder, or DLD, affects far more students than many clinicians realize, yet it often goes unidentified or misunderstood in school settings. In this episode, we break down what DLD is, why the terminology matters, and how it impacts spoken language, literacy, and academic success across the school years and beyond.
Host Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP is joined by Diane Ogiela, PhD, CCC-SLP and Wendy Morgan, MS, CCC-SLP for a practical, school-based look at how DLD fits within existing educational frameworks. Together, they unpack how this diagnostic label aligns with eligibility criteria, service delivery, and compliance requirements in real-world settings.
You will come away with a clearer understanding of how to identify DLD, advocate for appropriate supports, and integrate this framework into your clinical decision-making to better serve students in your care.
