Alternative blurb:

Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD) is an increasingly recognised complex neurological syndrome consisting of a cluster of skill deficits and which affects children in many different ways. Although a child with NLD may be bright, charming and articulate and have shown early intellectual promise, they may also have coordination or fine motor skills difficulties and social skills deficits. Pamela Tanguay is the mother of a child with NLD and in this book she provides solutions to the everyday problems children with NLDs face. She covers everything from bathing and dressing to social skills and personal safety issues. Nonverbal Learning Disabilities at Home also explains how to spot early warning signs and contains an indispensable appendix which lists support networks, organisations and internet resources. User-friendly and highly practical, this book is an essential guide for parents and carers of children with NLDs, as well as the professionals who work with them.
