Abstract: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of oromotor impairment in children with speech, language and communication disorders (SLCD). A retrospective analysis of 503 children aged 1?12 years was conducted to assess vegetative skills and oromotor impairments using SPSS. Results revealed a 45% prevalence of oromotor impairment, with drooling being the most common in children with cerebral palsy. The study underscores the importance of targeted interventions for oromotor deficits in SLCD.
