What Are Some Symptoms Of A Nonverbal Learning Disability?

Nonverbal learning disabilities often go undiagnosed and are often classified incorrectly as behavior problems by teachers and other professionals. If you suspect your child has a nonverbal learning disability, you may want to take him or her to a pediatrician or other qualified professional, like a child psychologist or occupational therapist. Some symptoms of a nonverbal learning disability are listed below.

Children with a nonverbal learning disability may have difficulty adapting to new or unexpected circumstances.
Children may have trouble organizing their visual and spatial field.
They may be unable to correctly interpret nonverbal signals, like facial expressions.
Many children with nonverbal learning disabilities compensate by having highly developed verbal abilities. For example, they may talk like an adult even as toddlers.

Nonverbal learning disabilities can be treated with therapies that teach children the skills they are lacking; these interventions are most successful when they're started early. If you notice any troubling signs in your child's behavior, take him or her to see the doctor.
