NEED INFORMATION REGARDING NON VERBAL LD

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Hello I have just discovered this web sight. I have found something that finally seems to fit my child more appropriately than any other diagnosis or explaination that I have been given. I have a 5 th grade boy that I think has a non verbal ld. I am looking for more information on this. He fits every discription in the article on this website except the fact he is having great difficulty reading. His rote memory is outstanding but has trouble applying reading decoding and phonics to the actual process. I have also had multiple behavioral problems with him in school. Now he is starting to be bully because he has no sense of social cues. He has a very limited sense of humor. In short again everything fits perfect to a non verbal learning disability. I am curious to learn more about this disability. Any information or experences would be appreciated. I am also upset as to why none of the $40,000.00 in doctors had told me about this, nor none of the teachers, school professionals,etc. He has been discriminated against and picked on by adults and children alike….and quiet frankly so have I. I was told by one Harvard educated DR. that it was bad parenting. P.S. I wised up after my second child was born and raised by the same parents, in the same environment has absolutely no behavioral issues.

HI I HAVE REPOSTED THIS FROM ANOTHER FORUM I LISTED IT IN WHEN A PERSON SUGGESTED THERE IS MORE TRAFFIC HERE. I ALSO WANTED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY SON REGARDING READING HE IS IN 5TH GRADE WITH A SECOND GRADE READING LEVEL PUBLIC SCHOOL IS FAILING AT THIS POINT THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHER AREAS OF EDUCATION AND I FEEL AS THOUGH HE NEEDS TO STOP AND BE TAUGHT ONE ON ONE FOR A YEAR OR TWO AND MAYBE THEN HE CAN RE-ENTER PUBLIC SCHOOL. I AM NOW A SINGLE PARENT AND FINANCES ARE LIMITED CAN I GET HELP BEING WE HAVE DONE ALL OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ASSISTANCES AND THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT WORKING. THANKS EVERYONE THIS IS A GREAT SITE

Hi SDSPM,
It must be a relief to have an explanation. Here’s a link to a site: http://www.nldontheweb.org/
Where the next step, is to teach the school about NLD.
Geoff,
