Does having a diagnosis of NLD mean a child is eligible for special education services?
Children who have been identified as having NLD may qualify for special education services under the “learning disabilities” or “other health impairments” category included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. At this time, only one state, New Hampshire, appears to recognize nonverbal learning disability as a specific learning disability. Because the categorization of NLD varies from state to state, parents will want to check on the education laws in their particular state.
