- What is DLD? DLD stands for Developmental Language Disorder.It is a diagnosis given when children have difficulties with speaking, understanding and reading – with high risk of dyslexia, in the absence of other known developmental conditions. Study estimates that DLD affects approximately 7% of the population and about two children in every classroom. Children with DLD not only have problems with language development, but may also experience challenges in literacy, learning, friendships and emotional well-being. DLD can have serious and long-term impact on development. Early detection and support from professionals can make a real difference.
