SUMMARY:

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistently below-age-level language skills without an apparent cause. DLD is among the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, with estimated occurrence rates between 3% and 7%, varying according to age group. Despite its high prevalence, unlike conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), DLD is still little known among the general population and there is little scientific research on the subject. In Brazil, it is estimated that less than 40% of adults have heard of DLD. This rate is even lower among health professionals (38.4%), but slightly higher among education professionals (45.3%), although it is still considered low. These data point to the need to develop strategies to raise awareness among the population as a whole, but especially among health and education professionals due to their essential role in early identification, diagnosis, and support for individuals with DLD. Different strategies have been adopted internationally, such as the RADLD (Raising Awareness of Development Language Disorder) campaign, which seeks to unify actions in several countries, including Brazil, to expand the dissemination of quality information on the subject. Another strategy that has been adopted in some countries is offering courses for parents, caregivers, and professionals on how to recognise and live with DLD in everyday life. In Brazil, there are short courses being marketed on this subject, but, to our knowledge, there are none that are free of charge and address content that is more geared towards health and education professionals. Thus, the overall objective of this dissertation is to validate the content of a training course for health and education professionals on developmental language disorder. This dissertation is organised into two articles, the first of which is a literature review study whose objective will be to map the scientific literature on the knowledge and attitudes of health and education professionals regarding DLD. The second article will aim to validate the content of a training course for health and education professionals.
