- Has your child been labelled bad, lazy, or rude? Is he extremely verbal, but can't tie his shoelaces? Does she have a hard time making - or keeping - friends? Are there frequent "misunderstandings" with teachers, class-mates, or siblings? Does she feel especially awkward in social situations? Has he been diagnosed with NLD, Asperger's, High Functioning Autism, or ADD?
Your child may be one of the millions who suffer from Nonverbal Learning Disorder, a neurological deficit that prevents children from understanding nonverbal cues like tone of voice and facial expression - subtle signals that play a crucial role in communication. Though they are exceptionally bright and extremely articulate, these children often have difficulty in social situations - and can become depressed, withdrawn, or anxious.
In 'Bridging The Gap', Rondalyn Varney Whitney offers practical, powerful strategies that will help you put your child on the path to a happy, healthy, fulfilling life.
