In this episode of School of Speech, Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP is joined by Diane Ogiela, PhD, CCC-SLP, and Wendy Morgan, MS, CCC-SLP to continue the conversation on Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a common yet often under-identified condition that impacts spoken language, literacy, and academic success across the lifespan.
Building on Part 1, this episode focuses on how the profile of children with DLD evolves over time and what that means for your clinical decision-making. You’ll explore how language demands shift as children move through school and how to adjust your assessment and intervention to better support social communication, classroom participation, and academic outcomes.
Through a practical, school-based lens, this discussion helps you connect the DLD framework to real-world clinical practice so you can better identify needs, set meaningful goals, and support students as those demands grow more complex.
