Summary

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).

Detailed description

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.
