What does the term “non-verbal learning disability” mean?
I have a 14-year-old son who was diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age. Just recently he was diagnosed with having a nonverbal learning disability as well. I would like to know if there are any good books or other material available that specifically can explain the relationship between these two seemingly opposing disabilities. I was told that although he is getting straight A’s now, it is certain he will “crash” in high school. I am deeply concerned for my child’s self esteem and would like any recommendations you can make to direct me to publications that specifically address the self esteem issues of a teenager with my sons specific learning disabilities.
