SUMMARY:

Introduction: Developmental language disorder (DLD) is not a new or rare condition, but its public knowledge is inferior than other conditions with lower incidence. In Brazil, unlike other countries, as far as we know,  there is no documented study in the scientific literature on public awareness about DLD or about Specific Language Impairment (SLI), the previous terminology. There is evidence that the lack of knowledge about this condition affects directly the achievement of the diagnosis, as well as being associated with lower funding for research. Aim: To investigate the knowledge of the Brazilian population about developmental language disorder. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study, carried out through the application of an online questionnaire based on a recent international study. Questions are divided into six sections, the first being related to demographic and social characteristics, while the others address knowledge about conditions that compromise language development; the nature of DLD; speech-language therapy services; role of the family; strategies to raise awareness about DLD, respectively. Data collection started in July 2021, after approval by the Research Ethics Committee, and is intended for the entire Brazilian population over 18 years of age, except for speech-language therapists and undergraduate students. Participation is voluntary and anonymous. Expected results: this study intend to understand the knowledge of the Brazilian population in relation to DLD compared to other disorders better known by the public, besides, analyze whether this knowledge varies according to sociodemographic and occupational aspects.
