Description: "Non-verbal Learning Disabilities (NLD) are conditions that combine both behavioural and coordination problems. First recognized in the 1970s, the number of children diagnosed with NLD has been slowly rising. This is an accessible introduction to NLD, providing an overview of the varied opinions expressed about the condition. Inspired by extensive research, the author describes the cognitive, psychometric, socio-emotional and visual aspects of this syndrome.

She also discusses how NLD can be diagnosed and describes how the syndrome associates itself with other conditions. The book concludes with practical treatment strategies that can be applied both at home and in school."--BOOK JACKET.
