Brain Development Signals Reading Challenges Long Before Kindergarten
Developmental trajectories of children with and without reading disabilities start to diverge around 18 months, rather than at 5 or 6 years old.

While we are unable to identify individual kids with brain imaging, this suggests that the trajectories of kids with #reading disabilities may diverge as early as 18 months, indicating that, in the future, we may be able to identify (& intervene!) much earlier.
