p<0.01,
p<0.05, GE Grade Equivalents; FSIQ Full-Scale IQ, VABS-ELAE Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale Expressive Language Age Equivalents. All variables except for the VABS-ELAE for Word Reading (p=0.06) were still significant when analyses were performed based on the sample without missing data. FSIQ and VABS-ELAE were centered at 100 and 9 years respectively.
