Martin, a learning specialist, combines a guide to nonverbal learning disability (NLD) with the story of how her own daughter, Sara, triumphed over her NLD. She presents a comprehensive developmental profile of children with NLD so that parents and professionals can identify learners with NLD and insure they receive early intervention, and explores controversies surrounding the disorder. Offering practical advice on coping with NLD at home and at school, she describes step-by-step interventions for improving a range of skills, from writing to social skills.
