Myklebust (1975) coined the term nonverbal learning disability (NLD) to describe youngsters who are verbally astute but have a wide variety of nonverbal deficits. Nonverbal learning disabilities are less understood than language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia. In fact, NLD does not appear in any accepted diagnostic nosology; in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994), it retains the category of Learning Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. The purpose of this study is to shed more light on the underlying processing disorder in NLD in hopes of informing remedial strategies.
