Every child begins their language journey with simple words like “mama” or “dada.” But for about 1 in 14 kids, learning to use words and sentences is much harder. These children may have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a condition that makes it more challenging for the brain to process language.

Karla McGregor, Ph.D., has been studying developmental language disorder for 33 years.
