Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities

Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities (NVLD) are a type of learning disability that primarily affect social skills, spatial awareness, and non-verbal communication. Individuals with NVLD may struggle to interpret body language, facial expressions, and other visual cues, making social interactions challenging. They often excel in verbal tasks, such as reading and writing, but may find it difficult to understand concepts that require visual-spatial skills, like math or map-reading. NVLD can affect daily functioning, leading to difficulties in relationships and adapting to new environments. Early identification and tailored support can help individuals navigate their unique challenges.
