We publish the number and proportion of pupils with special educational needs, including the type of need and type of school in the annual ‘Special educational needs in England’ statistical release:

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-special-educational-needs-sen.

Pupils with special educational needs are recorded according to their primary type of need. The current types of need were defined in 2015 and do not include a definition of development co-ordination disorder. The total number of pupils with each primary type of need is available in table 8 of the publication ‘Special educational needs in England: January 2017’ available via the above link.
