Correlations between increases in connectivity between pairs of brain regions after accounting for significant association with child cognitive level

		Vineland socialization		Expressive One‐Word Vocabulary		Clinical Global Impression‐Improvement		Cognitive functioning
		r	p	r	p	r	p	r	P
L superior temporal	L putamen	.34	.17	.35	.15	—	—	.50	.03

Associations between changes in frontal, temporal, and subcortical region of interest connectivity and changes in behavior between baseline and 6 month visits were examined using the Spearman rank correlations with nonverbal developmental quotient included as a covariate. Higher scores on the Vineland socialization subscale and Expressive One‐Word Vocabulary Test and lower scores on the Clinical Global Impression‐Improvement represent improved functioning.
