Abstract
Preschoolers’ (N=207) social functioning was measured annually through 12 years-old. Preschool ADHD symptom status and verbal functioning predicted various domains of social functioning at age 12, and growth in social functioning across childhood. Early screening for hyperactive/inattentive behaviors and development of interventions that enhance verbal neuropsychological functioning are recommended.
