Children with DLD had a lower QoL than their typical peers at 9 years and, contrary to previous studies, differences in QoL were not observed with DLD severity. Co-occurring social-emotional problems appear to play an important role in contributing to the lower QoL experienced by children with DLD. Consideration of associated functional limitations is required to support the communication and social development of all young children with DLD.
