Abstract

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a condition that affects how children learn and use spoken language. It is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, affecting approximately 7.6% of children [1]. It arises during the early stages of brain development and persists into later childhood and adolescence.
