  • Nonverbal learning disorder is not curable!
  • Ways teachers can help:
  • "Be clear and direct in addressing the difficulty; Begin the work with what is most familiar and simple; rely heavily on the student's verbal and analytic strengths; provide specific sequenced verbal instructions." (Foss, Jean M.)
  • How parents can help:
  • Keep the environment predictable and familiar
  • Create a familiar routine to follow

Effects on Daily Life

What is it?

Overcoming the Problem

  • Nonverbal learning disorder (NLD) is a complex neurological disability, best characterized by a lack of compatibility between high verbal skills and low social, visuo-spatial, and motor skills, due to a deficit in the right hemisphere of the brain.
  • Closely associated, and sometimes confused for Asperger's Syndrome, this disorder is the least recognized learning problem in a classroom, most times going undiagnosed and missed entirely.
  • 10% of children identified with learning disability have nonverbal learning disorder, making up 1% of the U.S population or 3 million people. This affects men and women equally.

My Point of View

After much research, I can clearly see how NLD greatly affects individuals. Obviously they're disability would make it difficult for them to cope well in societies social norms, fitting in with certain groups, accomplish simple tasks, and living the everyday "normal life". But despite the circumstances that come with this disorder, they strive to coexist with the world around them. Given time, help, and effort, I can no doubt say that they can and will.
