Developmental Pilot of Support Groups for Caregivers of Children With DLD

The purpose of this study is to test a new support group curriculum that we designed to support parents of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

After completing the informed consent process and eligibility has been verified, participants will complete parenting questionnaires. They will then be asked to attend 8-10 weekly support group meetings with other participants. Support group meetings are held remotely. After each meeting, participants will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire to learn about their experiences. After the final support group meeting, participants will be asked to complete the same parenting questionnaires as at study initiation. Participants will also be asked to complete a focus group with other support group attendees to share about their experiences in the group.

Inclusion Criteria: * Caregiver of an elementary aged (5-12 year old) child with a lab-confirmed diagnosis of DLD Exclusion Criteria: * Not able to participate via teletherapy in a support group delivered in English.
