Abstract

Developmental language disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by unexplained persistent language difficulties, which affects around 7.5% of school children. Despite this prevalence, developmental language disorder has poor public awareness, and early detection is crucial for appropriate assistance and to minimize negative impacts on academic performance and mental, social, and emotional health. Inclusive education demands that learners must be supported to succeed, and interprofessional collaboration between speech-language pathologists/therapists, teachers, and other professionals is essential for the needs of children with developmental language disorder. The chapter aims to increase support and awareness about developmental language disorders in children and focus on collaboration teamwork between teachers and speech-language pathologists/therapists.
