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

Note: it was published in 2018 & uses the old term- SLI (Specific Language Impairment). We now use DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) #devlangdis.
