The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the Norwegian adaptation of the Children's Communication Checklist‐2 (CCC‐2) differentiates between a language impaired and a non‐language impaired population and to make a first evaluation of the psychometric qualities of the questionnaire on a Norwegian sample. A total of 153 children aged 6–12 years participated in the study (45 language impaired and 108 non‐language impaired). The Norwegian adaptation of the CCC‐2 distinguished language impaired from non‐language impaired children and thus seems to provide a useful screening tool for communication impairments in Norwegian children. The reliability of the CCC‐2 appeared to be reasonable with internal consistency values ranging from 0.73 to 0.89.
