[QUOTE="SRL, post: 362228, member: 701"] Non-verbal Learning Disability has many overlapping symptoms with High-Functioning Autism (HFA), including transition problems, and is usually harder to get a professional to recognize. Children with either can have the behavioral aspects. I believe that many of the treatments are the same, the primary difference being that kids on the spectrum tend to be highly visual-spatial. Personally if her evaluations were recent I would consider the diagnoses working dxs--live with them for awhile and see how things go. If they don't seem to fit on down the road or if she isn't able to get the school services she needs then revisit the assessments. The only thing I might add is a speech-language evaluation if that hasn't been done already to make sure she can handle things like multi-step instructions, and to help her with social speech tasks. Have you and the school staff been using strategies specifically for kids with NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), and if so, are they working? Is there much different in the way that she responds to auditory input as opposed to written language? Some medications are available in liquid form and can be added to foods or beverages. I'm honestly getting really tired of professionals being baffled by children acting differently at school than at home. We see it all the time here. [/QUOTE]
