The utility of math difficulties, internalized psychopathology, and visual-spatial deficits to identify children with the nonverbal learning disability syndrome: evidence for a visualspatial disability.

摘要: This study examined the criteria currently employed to identify children with nonverbal learning disability syndrome (NVLD). The most widely accepted definition of NVLD relies on deficits in visual-spatial-organizational, tactile-perceptual, psychomotor, and problem-solving skills.

In contrast previous findings, reveals can demonstrate good math abilities when p...
