Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study was to examine the concept and criteria of language developmental disorders in Japan and to develop an information sharing tool that can be used to promote understanding of the characteristics and social connections. In order to clarify the concept and characteristics, 43 professionals who have been professionally involved with language disorders in children for more than 15 years were examined using the Delphi method. Based on the results, we developed an information-sharing radar chart consisting of 14 items that indicate the characteristics of language developmental disorders through discussions among the researchers. There have been few studies in the field of speech-language pathology in Japan that refer to the concept of language disorders in children, and we believe that this study will serve as a catalyst for further studies that will lead to the development of this field.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	言語発達障害は、子どもの言語障害として一般的であるものの、専門職においても障害特性やその概念が不一致となりやすく、国際的にも研究が活発に行われている現状がある。本研究によって、これまで曖昧とされてきた言語発達障害の概念や評価・支援の在り方について基礎的資料を得ることができた。また、それら成果をもとに研究者間で協議を重ね、社会とのつながりを促進するための情報共有ツールとして、言語障害の特性などを示す14項目からなるレーダーチャートを考案した。本研究がきっかけとなり、子どもの言語障害に関する分野の発展につながるものと考える。
