Definition:
Nonverbal Learning Disabilities (NLD) are diagnosed in children who may show very impressive verbal, reading, spelling and rote memory skills but very weak motor, social, sensory, and visual-spatial abilities. NLD is a neurological disorder overlapping with and possibly occupying the same end of the autism spectrum as Asperger Syndrome.
