AB  - PURPOSE: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at 
      elevated risk for language impairment (LI). This study examined the feasibility 
      of using the Children's Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2; Bishop, 2006) to 
      classify risk for LI in young children, ages 5-8 years, with ADHD. METHOD: 
      Parents of 32 children with ADHD and 12 typically developing peers completed the 
      CCC-2. The Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Fourth Edition (Semel, 
      Wiig, & Secord, 2003) and the Test of Narrative Language (Gillam & Pearson, 2004) 
      were administered to diagnose LI. Language samples were collected to examine 
      clinical markers of LI. RESULTS: CCC-2 General Communication Composite scores </= 
      85 correctly classified 10 participants with ADHD diagnosed with LI as defined by 
      composite scores </= 85 on the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Fourth 
      Edition, or on the Test of Narrative Language. Five of these participants 
      demonstrated 1 or more clinical markers of LI in language samples. Three 
      additional participants, who received a General Communication Composite score </= 
      85 yet scored above 85 on the language tests, demonstrated CCC-2 profiles 
      suggestive of pragmatic impairment. Sensitivity and specificity rates were 100% 
      and 85.29%, respectively. CCC-2 scores and most measures were significantly 
      correlated. CONCLUSION: The results support the feasibility of using the CCC-2 as 
      a screener to identify children with ADHD who are at elevated risk for LI and 
      need referral for comprehensive assessment.
