1SD 0 = typical performance. 2SD +1 = “more than others”, having more symptoms of dysfunction than typically performing children. 3SD +2 = “much more than others”, with the child having “much more” in terms of symptoms of dysfunction than typically performing children. When SHR +1 and +2 were calculated individually, the percentages were 20% and 5%, respectively. When calculating the sum of SHR +1 and +2, the statistician advised to total the raw data () and then calculate the percentage from this total, which is 24%. This discrepancy between the table figures and the text occurred due to the rounding of the percentages.
