What Is Nonverbal Learning Disorder?
Nonverbal learning disorder (NLD or NVLD), otherwise known as nonverbal learning disability, may be the most overlooked, misunderstood, and under-diagnosed learning disability. The brain-based condition is characterized by poor visual, spatial, and organizational skills; difficulty recognizing and processing nonverbal cues; and poor motor performance.The name “non-verbal learning disorder” is confusing; it suggests that those with NLD do not speak, but quite the opposite is true.
