Want more specific information on Nonverbal Learning Disorder...?

Question

Sounds like my daughter exactly - she is great at reading, spelling - struggles in math, organization, reading subtle cues....she has become more talkative in fourth grade and this is bringing her grades down - she never had a problem before....

Answer 1

I have used a program called sensory integration training from essential learning institute for my child. Their website is www.LDhope.com. I was reluctant at first since there are so many programs out there but when they said it was like a miracle program, it is! We did in in my home and found improvements to start in about 2-3 months. Their program is available worldwide and special setups are available for schools. I believe they also have a home school program that includes curriculum and special services to children with LDs.

Answer 2

Try this organization http://www.nlda.org/

They're well known and reputable and have a lot of information and help available.

Good luck.

But just so you know, NLD is not something that would develop at age 8 or 9; it is something that she would have had all her life.  If her behavior is changing now, something else is going on.  If you're just realizing now that continued behavior patterns are interfering with her development, then you should indeed investigate NLD as a possible cause.
