Development Language Disorder (DLD) is a neurodevelopmental condition of high incidence; however, education and psychology professionals do not know much about it. This condition seriously affects learning and the social and emotional development that will remain throughout life. However, an early and timely intervention improves the prognosis and the person's quality of life. This research aims to know the level of knowledge about DLD in 110 preschool teachers within the metropolitan area of Lima, Peru. We designed a multiple-choice questionnaire with 20 items to be answered online. The results showed a low and moderate trend (36.4% in both cases) regarding their knowledge about DLD. A low level of 38.2% know the definition. Then, regarding DLD characteristics, a low trend of 38.2% reveal knowledge about it. On the other hand, a high 38.2% revealed that they can identify risk factors and an also high 40% showed that they can establish a referral criteria. It was also found that a 95.4% claimed to be able to recognize a possible case of DLD in a preschool environment. As a conclusion, we can say that DLD is not much known with the educational community. A high prevalence of DLD as a negative impact on the human development, so it is imperative to have a more profound knowledge in our context, given the effect that can be achieved with an early intervention.
