Parent reports significantly predicted teacher reports; FSIQ positively moderated parent reports for externalizing, but not internalizing problems. Findings suggest that lower IQ in children increases parent-teacher disagreement on externalizing problems, emphasizing the importance of more comprehensive, multi-informant assessments during ADHD diagnosis in such children.POSTER 10INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF NATURE-BASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT IN DEPRESSION.LIAM M.
