I am the mother of a 10 year old boy with NVLD and bipolar. He was placed in a Severely Emotionally disturbed program following hospitalization a year ago, however the bipolar part has stabilzed nicely on medication.
The ongoing issues are educating the school regarding his NVLD and special learning needs while still providing behavioral supports and social skills training. It seems in our district SN kids are either classified as LD or MR or SED, when my son needs a more multidisciplinary approach.
Are there any NLD-specific support groups out in cyberland? I feel like I am all alone and behind in the learning curve.
Thanks, Jody
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the tips — I love the NLDline site, esp the sections on IEPs. It is very validating to see other parents ask for what I think my child needs.
BB on this site (NLDline) do seem to have been invaded by spammers however.

Yep, try this:

you might also try the Asperger Oasis forums, as there are definitely similarities.
