Ok, turning to twitter again for some help. Any idea of the rates of undiagnosed #DevLangDis in the population at large. I have the @PALS_SCALES paper at age 5, with details of rates of SLT referral, but have been looking for a bit more than this age 5 info.
Looking forward to this ECR event on Wednesday. I'll be speaking about the importance of language and communication needs in children and young people's mental health. Sign up ends today!
