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].
Additional findings: #1: left side muscle weakness; #6: pronator drift; # 25: Left lower extremity muscle weakness; #26: poor fine motor coordination; #30: hyperreflexia lower extremities; # 38: clonus at ankles; #47: mild diffuse weakness; #53: left hemiparesis.
