Abstract

Nearly 8% of children aged 3-17 years had a communication disorder during the past 12 months. • Children aged 3-6 years, boys, and non-Hispanic black children were more likely than other children to have had any communication disorder. • Approximately 55% of children aged 3-17 years who had any communication disorder received an intervention service during the past 12 months. • Among those with any communication disorder, younger children, boys, and non-Hispanic white children were more likely than other children to receive an intervention service for their disorder.
