Er...
I think the study is good because it is putting the focus on biological intervention (that means HEALTH FUNDING) to help prevent a preventable developmental trajectory.
Much better than saying 'their genes made them do it' (and of course there is a hell of a lot less we can do about their genes)
They have done studies on deprivation already. Mice. Monkeys. Etc. And there... Are the people.
I guess it would be nice if they had evidence that the environmental effects on brain development were significantly affected by environmental intervantion.
I just don't see...
Much changing.
Pills pills pills magical pills...
Sigh
