Note: MSEL = Mullen Scales of Early Learning. NVDQ/IQ = nonverbal developmental/intelligence quotient. VDQ/IQ = verbal developmental/intelligence quotient. CELF = Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals. Baseline refers to the earliest available assessment for a given participant. The 5DNPCCSS is captured as an integer but was treated as a continuous variable in the current analysis plan. For the Nine-hole, higher scores reflect worse performance relative to normative data. For all other direct assessments, higher scores reflect better performance relative to normative data.
