Engage with DLD

Developmental Language Disorder affects about 1 in 15 people. Despite being as common as ADHD and much more common than Autism, DLD does not have the same level of recognition in society. This is particularly frustrating because DLD has a huge impact on many areas of life. The amount of research into DLD is much lower than it should be

We wanted to change this, so we set up the E-DLD project. Our mission is to connect people with DLD and their families to academic research. We do this through our international database with parents of children with DLD, adults with DLD, researchers and other professionals. We want to see a world where DLD is fully understood by everyone 

​Our main objectives:

1. Involve people with DLD around the world in research

2. Make research findings accessible to all

3. Create opportunities for people affected by DLD to connect with one another

4. Build strong partnerships with organisations working to support people with DLD
