Abstract

We investigated neurocognitive correlates of intervention response in children with dyslexia across socioeconomic status backgrounds. Compared to a waiting-list control group, intervention participants showed a relative reading benefit, which was greatest for children from lower-SES backgrounds and lower performing readers. Structural neuroimaging and behavioral assessments differentiated intervention responders from nonresponders.
