A must hear interview on Nonverbal Learning Disorder
Sera Rivers is the mother of a child with Nonverbal Learning Disorder. She did a radio interview on NLD. If you're interested in listening it's here. It's a long interview, but it's very informative. It really explains NLD like I've never heard before. I really wish I had of heard this years ago when we first got Matt's diagnosis.

WOW there seems that some cases of NLD can have many symptoms. As the host kept saying to Sera....it must have been VERY difficult to diagnose and for parents to help a child with NLD.
ReplyDeleteSuper moms and dads out there and you are one of them Barb.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting. The comment, "You are your child's best advocate" summed up the advice nicely. I have also found this to be true in helping our daughter who has quite a few learning deficits.
I think I caught the comment that NLD is affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. I find this very interesting, as our twin daughters have epilepsy which originates in the temporal and frontal lobes, and they had quite a bit of trouble understanding/remembering consequences.
Thanks for the interesting link.
this disorder is not a an easy one to live with and it.this disorder is hard to be understood because I feel i cant really get the sense that other people really know where I come from by living with this confusing disorder
