title: Auditory brain stem responses in dyslexic and normal children. A prospective clinical investigation.
abstract: Auditory Brain stem Responses (ABR) were performed prospectively in 24 severely constitutionally dyslexic children. None of the subjects showed any signs of organic or psychologic abnormality. The results were matched with a corresponding group of normal children. The response latencies of the two groups were almost identical (no statistically significant difference). We conclude that dysfunction of the brain stem auditory pathways should not be expected in constitutionally dyslexic children.
