[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 313941, member: 2423"] Loth, MWM has given you a good synopsis of NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Some clinicians feel it is on the autistic spectrum; others don't. It is diagnosed by neuropsychological testing. Typically, the performance IQ is significally lower than the Verbal IQ. The thing you have to realize is that a lot of SDs do not recognize NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) for the purposes of coding for a disability. So before you go talking about it at your meeting tomorrow, you need to discuss this with your advocate. He may not want you to bring it up at all, even if you suspect Missy has it. He may want you to have her privately tested and then coded in a way that would be acceptable for IEP coding. I know -- doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but there is a lot of controversy in the medical community about NLVD. [/QUOTE]
