Abstract

Purpose: A 2017 CATALISE project resulted in consensus on using the term "developmental language disorder" (DLD) to describe children with unexplained language impairment. Since then, it is unclear how researchers have identified DLD and implemented DLD terminology. The current study is a scoping review to better understand the implementation of DLD terminology.

Method: We identified studies (N = 265) published in American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journals between 2017 and 2024 that included individuals with communication difficulties in the area of language not secondary to another etiology. We extracted key information regarding study purpose and participant identification from each publication.

Results: Across all publications, 58% included the term "DLD" to describe their participant(s), 22% included "specific language impairment" (SLI), 12% included "language impairment" (LI), and 8% included other terms. The majority of publications served to better understand the profile of individuals with DLD, evaluate an intervention, or report on a measurement tool related to identification of the condition. There was significant variation in the developmental domains (e.g., cognitive, social, sensory) considered when diagnosing DLD across research publications.

Conclusions: This scoping review demonstrates the adoption and implementation of the term "DLD" in ASHA publications. Future efforts should prioritize increasing the consistency of identification of DLD in research, advocating for use of DLD terminology in clinical contexts, and supporting clinicians' knowledge, identification, assessment, intervention, and advocacy related to DLD.

期刊介绍: Mission: JSLHR publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on the normal and disordered processes in speech, language, hearing, and related areas such as cognition, oral-motor function, and swallowing. The journal is an international outlet for both basic research on communication processes and clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, and management of communication disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. JSLHR seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of communication sciences and disorders, including speech production and perception; anatomy and physiology of speech and voice; genetics, biomechanics, and other basic sciences pertaining to human communication; mastication and swallowing; speech disorders; voice disorders; development of speech, language, or hearing in children; normal language processes; language disorders; disorders of hearing and balance; psychoacoustics; and anatomy and physiology of hearing.
