Principal Identifying Features of the Syndrome of Nonverbal Learning Disabilities in Children.

Harnadek, Michael C. S.; Rourke, Byron P.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v27 n3 p144-54 Mar 1994

The identifying features of nonverbal learning disabilities (NLD) were evaluated with 29 NLD children, 27 children with reading and spelling disabilities, and 27 nonclinical children. Four tests were found which accurately discriminated the NLD group from the others. Deficits in visual-perceptual-organizational psychomotor coordination and complex tactile-perceptual skills were most characteristic of NLD. (DB)
