Abbreviations: DCD = Developmental Coordination Disorder, SSD = Speech Sound Disorder, NEL: Not enough language to evaluate for SSD, yes* = SSD evaluation took place at an older age and child was found to have SSD, not eval. = not evaluated.

Note: SSD evaluations were conducted as part of Mervis et al. [2015].
