11/ Future research should consider parent concerns about literacy, attention, and executive function as indicators of a need for language evaluation. Stay tuned for our future updates!

[Dr. Jessica Chan (she/her) @_jesschan_]

9/ Low levels of parent concerns about oral language may be attributed to low levels of public awareness about DLD.

[Dr. Jessica Chan (she/her) @_jesschan_]

10/ Our findings indicate the importance of increasing public knowledge about language development and disorders and promoting methods to measure and monitor oral language in schools.

[Dr. Jessica Chan (she/her) @_jesschan_]

8/ These results converge with previous studies from our lab showing that parents are less aware of language difficulties than reading difficulties.

[Dr. Jessica Chan (she/her) @_jesschan_]

5/ However, the two samples did not differ in mean standardized language test performance, or rate of parent reported family history of reading or language difficulties.
