Our interdisciplinary team of cognitive neuroscientists and educational psychologists aimed to expand on research to improve early identification and intervention to prevent long-term negative consequences of DD. Specifically, we conducted an initial proof-of-concept study to explore the feasibility of using brain imaging to investigate the functional architecture of networks r lated to reading using precision mapping approaches performed at the individual level (Gordon et al., 2017). We sought to determine if we can examine brain function robustly in young children (ages 7-9) independently, along with behavioral measures of early reading skill as well as familial risk evaluated via parent questionnaires. Findings of this study will provide initial evidence for the feasibility and promise of a longer-term research agenda that includes (a) longitudinal investigations of neural and behavioral measures of young children that might be used to predict developmental dyslexia, and (b) multicomponent intervention studies of young children identified as at risk for developmental Dyslexia.
