Efficacy of Reading Intervention on the Brain Connectivity in Autism

The V/V intervention program is a language remediation program designed by Dr. Nanci Bell, and developed by the Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes (LBLP) (Bell, 1991b). It has been widely used among children with reading disorders, but not with children with ASD. This intervention is based on the use of nonverbal sensory input, in the form of imaged gestalts, in order to develop oral and written language comprehension, establish vocabulary, and develop higher order thinking skills (Bell, 1991a,b).
