Non-verbal learning difficulties

This book addresses one of the most important types of learning disabilities: nonverbal learning disabilities. This is a crucial category because it encompasses a range of skills often overlooked by specialists. Specifically, it addresses skills that lack a verbal structure in their initial development. These disabilities affect social skills, writing, nonverbal arithmetic, and working memory with its complex and multifaceted components. The book also compares nonverbal learning disabilities with Asperger's syndrome, Gretzman syndrome, and apraxia, highlighting areas of similarity and difference. Furthermore, it demonstrates how to assess each component of working memory with concrete examples. Finally, it includes a comprehensive diagnostic test for arithmetic difficulties. Thus, this book integrates both theoretical and practical aspects to maximize its benefit and effectiveness.
