Tonight I watched @bypriscila 's presentation from the #ApraxiaKids conference (Session 200). Co-occurance of Developmental Coordination Disorder(DCD) and Childhood Apraxia of Speech(CAS).
The prevalence of DCD in school aged children is 5-6%, or 1 in 20. It's considered a "hidden condition", because it's underdiagnosed, and people aren't aware of it.
This reminds me of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) #DevLangDis #ApraxiaKids

SLPs may have an important role in referring children with possible DCD, as we're very likely to see them before 5 years of age.
(DCD Dx not recommended for children <5).
Many children require help with their motor skills development before age 5.
