Publisher's Synopsis
Nonverbal Learning Disorders are serious and complex developmental disabilities that persist into adulthood. The diagnosis of these disabilities is often difficult as fluent speech usually coexists with the functional deficits present in individuals affected by these disorders.
Medical and Educational Perspectives on Nonverbal Learning Disability in Children and Young Adults is a comprehensive reference source for emerging research in the identification, diagnosis, and intervention of nonverbal learning disabilities. Featuring in-depth coverage on a variety of topics relating to intact nonverbal skills, Nonverbal Learning Disability indicators, disability manifestation, and the dilemmas faced by caregivers and professionals, this publication is a critical reference source for educators, medical professionals, allied health professionals, and disability service providers interested in research on the early intervention of these disabilities and the quality-of-life issues faced by those afflicted by nonverbal learning disabilities.
