[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 386959, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome. Actually, that IS a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I have one too (along with many other issues). My verbal IQ is 120/performance 85. This makes life difficult because I am so verbally astute that I sound like a college grad (I'm not) yet when hired for a job I struggle (performance). Although I have challenging social skills, they did not really show up at a very young age. I was friendly and talked a lot, however as I got older, people would become annoyed at how I talked too much, too fast, and could not read social cues (things more important when you are older than when you are a little kid). My social skills are better than a person on the autism spectrum, but are still lacking and I had to be in therapy a long time to learn how to interact properly with other people. Left on my own, I talk over people and don't always make appropriate eye contact, etc. I also have a mood disorder and anxiety issues, but I don't believe that necessarily goes along with a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). I struggled TERRIBLY in math while acing anything with reading/English/creative writing. The school made me stop taking math after pre-algebra. They had no Special Education back then and I simply did NOT get math. I suggest you take your child to a neuropsychologist. You have a good start on evaluating her, but I don't think anyone does as great a job as a neuropsychologist. Then you can also get suggestions on curriculum and interventions. It may be best to put her in school where she can get the appropriate supports t hat she needs. [/QUOTE]
