My name is Suzanne Carolan and I am a Clinical Specialist SLT working in collaboration with the researchers from Dublin City University.

We are inviting SLTs and Parents of children with DLD diagnosis to participate in the study to explore their perceptions of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) as a ‘diagnostic label’. We also seek to explore the perspectives of Irish SLTs and parents on how and when the DLD ‘diagnostic label’ is currently given to children and young people and how it is communicated to them.

If you are an SLT or a Parent of a child with a DLD diagnosis we are inviting you to take part. Please register to express your interest in participating in the study.
