Pragmatic communication disorder (PCD) as an independent diagnostic category appeared in DSM-5, published in 2013, among language and communication disorders. In international practice, the symptoms of children who have severe social-communication and pragmatic difficulties despite their seemingly typical language development path on the surface, were first described in the 1980s (Rapin ‒ Allen 1983). In Hungary, the recognition, screening, and diagnosis of this developmental disorder, as well as the development of intervention methods are currently in the initial stages. Children with PCD, due to their often hidden developmental disorders, are at an increasing and more spectacular disadvantage during their school ages compared to their typically developing peers, and this manifests in learning difficulties, behavioural problems, attention difficulties, and social and communication disorders. The aim of the present study is to introduce teachers to the symptoms and everyday manifestations of PCD so that they can better identify children, who may be affected, among their students.
