Nonverbal learning disorder

Considered to be neurologically based, nonverbal learning disorder, otherwise known as nonverbal learning disability (NLD or NVLD), is characterized by verbal strengths as well as visual-spatial, motor and social skills deficits.When people with nonverbal learning disabilities are assessed, typically, their performance IQ is significantly lower than their verbal IQ, because of visual-spatial weaknesses.About the causes, symptoms and treatment aspects of the NLD, Aleksandar Zivkovic spoke with the neurologist Professor Dr Ostoja Vucic.
