  1. If children’s age was outside the standardisation range, the closest age match was used. BRIEF = Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function; CCC-2 = Children’s Communication Checklist 2. M = mean, SD = standard deviation, α = Cronbach’s alpha, ω = McDonald’s omega. For BRIEF and Conners-3, higher raw and T-scores values indicate presence of more difficulties. For CCC-2, lower raw scores indicate greater difficulties, whereas lower scaled scores indicate less difficulties
