General Information about Nonverbal Learning Disabilities

Nonverbal learning disabilities affect organization, motor skills, visual-spatial perception, nonverbal communication, and often mathematics. Collectively, these are known as "Non-verbal Learning Disabilities" (NLD). Nonverbal Learning Disabilities are very closely related to Asperger Syndrome, Hyperlexia, and Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder.
