A total of 305 clinical protocols were analyzed between 2021 and 2022, collecting information on developmental history, biomedical, sensory, and communicative factors, alongside EF scores obtained through parent-reported BRIEF-2 and BRIEF-P questionnaires. Results showed significant associations between language and communication difficulties and several EF domains, including inhibition, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and planning. Notably, children classified as receiving Level 1 support—considered to have lower intervention needs—were perceived by their families as having greater EF difficulties within the home context compared to those receiving Level 2 support. This apparent contradiction highlights a potential disconnect between family perceptions and clinical judgment, possibly influenced by contextual factors such as family support strategies or environmental demands. Findings emphasize the importance of incorporating family-reported information in assessments and planning interventions, and suggest that multi-informant approaches may enhance the accuracy of EF evaluations and guide tailored, family-centered support strategies.
