“…However, the majority of the evidence-based research to date, derives from English speaking countries, and there is rather limited research deriving from other countries, including Greece (Okalidou and Kampanaros, 2001). Additionally, although DLD affects a substantial number of children, 7.5% at school entry age (Norbury et al, 2016), public awareness is still rather limited when compared to other neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and Dyslexia (Conti-Ramsden et al, 2013;Bishop, 2017;Thordardottir and Topbaş, 2021). In this direction, examining teachers' views on DLD is very important since this disorder may impact on various aspects of children's development including learning in the classroom (Dockrell and Lindsay, 2001;Bishop et al, 2017;Dockrell et al, 2017), as well as social and emotional competence (Botting and Conti-Ramsden, 2000;Van Daal et al, 2007;Lindsay et al, 2010;McCormack et al, 2011;Wadman et al, 2011;Bakopoulou and Dockrell, 2016;Toseeb and St Clair, 2020;Ralli et al, 2021b).…”

Within a modern school that follows the international rules of inclusive education is very important for teachers to be able to understand and meet the needs of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The present study explores for the first time in Greece, the views of 122 Greek Kindergarten Teachers (KTs) and Primary school teachers (PSTs) about DLD, through an online survey that elaborated both categorical and Likert scale responses. According to the results half of the participants were not familiar with the term. Both groups of professionals reported that children with DLD have many vocabulary and syntactic difficulties in the receptive language. In the expressive language KTs identified more articulation and phonological difficulties, while PSTs referred mainly vocabulary and grammatical difficulties. The majority of professionals mentioned additional difficulties such as emotional and behavioral problems. Both groups identified a variety of challenges while working with children with DLD. KTs focused mostly on children’s emotional difficulties, while PSTs reported mostly their learning difficulties. The participants also recognized their own limitations regarding background knowledge and the need for further training. Furthermore, the educators mentioned that it is difficult for them to identify and support a child with DLD while, at the same time they acknowledged the need to collaborate with other professionals in order to meet children’s needs. The results are discussed in terms of their importance for raising awareness for DLD as well as for teachers’ better training, in order to efficiently identify and support children with DLD.

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.
