NVLD are receiving increased attention from researchers as well as from clinicians encountering these conditions in their young clients. At the same time, reliable information on effective interventions for NVLD has lagged behind this interest. Nonverbal Learning Disabilities in Children: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice offers a well-rounded understanding of NVLD, placing it within the context of other developmental disorders, most notably high-functioning autism and Asperger’s syndrome. The most current genetic, environmental, and neurobiological theories of and research into the causes of NVLD (e.g., the “white matter model”), in-depth diagnostic methods, and quality interventions are examined. Using an evidence-based approach, this groundbreaking volume: Conceptualizes NVLD as a disorder with subtypes. Differentiates between diagnostic criteria for NVLD and Asperger’s Syndrome. Analyzes the co-occurrence of NVLD with other developmental disabilities and psychological disorders. Provides a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment model. Describes efficacious treatments and supports their empirical validation. Offers guidelines for sustaining treatment gains through effective collaboration of school personnel and family members. Nonverbal Learning Disabilities in Children is a must-have reference for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in school and clinical child psychology, education, speech-language therapy, and other disciplines and professions involved in identifying and treating children with NVLD.Child psychologySchool psychologySocial workEducationDevelopmental psychologyClinical psychologyPsychotherapyCounselingChild and School Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12040Social Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000Education, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O00000Developmental Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010Clinical Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12005Psychotherapy and Counselinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12010Child psychology.School psychology.Social work.Education.Developmental psychology.Clinical psychology.Psychotherapy.Counseling.Child and School Psychology.Social Work.Education, general.Developmental Psychology.Clinical Psychology.Psychotherapy and Counseling.616.85616.85889Davis John Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut204476Broitman Jessicaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910790048003321Nonverbal Learning Disabilities in Children3797328UNINA
