Nonverbal Learning Disorders, Suffering in Silence

Nonverbal learning disorder is a developmental disease that consists of specific assets and deficits. This neurophysiological disorder usually takes place in the right hemisphere of the brain. Those with nonverbal learning disorders may not develop important tools such as early speech, vocabulary development, memory skills, attention to detail, developmental reading skills, and spelling skills.

Nonverbal learning disorders (neurological syndrome) are divided into four major categories.

• Motoric includes lack of coordination, severe balance problems, and difficulties with graphomotor skills (writing skills)
• Visual-spatial-organization includes lack of image, poor visual recall, faulty spatial perception, difficulties with executive functioning and problems with spatial relation
• Social includes the inability to comprehend nonverbal communication, difficulties adjusting to transitions and novel situations, and deficits in social judgment and social interaction
• Sensory which includes all the sensory modes: visual, auditory, tactile, taste, or olfactory

Research indicates that almost 65% of communication among individuals is conveyed nonverbally. Both verbal and nonverbal aspects of communication usually measure intelligence. Nonverbal learning disorders go untreated because people are generally unaware of it. Children with nonverbal learning disorders are frequently labeled as "emotionally disturbed." Most educators and parents unfamiliar with this disorder often ignore evidence of nonverbal learning disorders.

It is very important for parents and educators to be familiar with nonverbal learning disorders. They must be familiar with the four criteria mentioned above to observe the possible signs in a child. As a baby, the earliest mode of communication is nonverbal. Most parents and teachers can usually notice "something off" in children with nonverbal learning disorders but are unable to "put a finger on it." When adults can't determine the cause, they usually tend to believe the child is "immature," "bored with normal routine," or "a bit clumsy."

Children with nonverbal learning disorders may appear confused and when further observed, they reveal social ineptness by misinterpretation of body language and tone of voice, despite having a high intelligence. The child tends to rely on memory of past experiences usually labeled verbally to lead them through. If untreated, damaging effects of a learning disorder can lead to nervous breakdowns in young adults or children. Doctor Byron P. Rourke of the University of Windsor and his associates have found that those afflicted by nonverbal learning disabilities are predispose to adolescent or adult depression and suicide risk.

The early symptoms of nonverbal learning disorders are difficult to detect because the child may display intelligence by initiating a verbose conversation usually mimicking adults. In their early childhood these children are usually viewed as "gifted" by parents and educators with their verbal ability and rote reading at a young age. Rote reading is when a child uses memory and repetition, with little intelligence, when reading. Children with nonverbal learning disorders are usually eager to learn and memorize material.

Early intervention results in the best anticipated recovery for individuals suffering from nonverbal learning disorders. The child should not be isolated and placed in a remedial classroom, but should be provided with daily, non-threatening contact with nondisabled peers in order to expand his/her social behavior. There are several ways you can help improve the lives of children who are silently suffering from this disorder. Växa's Attend is a breakthrough homeopathic medicinal which includes ingredients that help promote neural growth and neurotransmitter generation within the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS).

Fortunately, when appropriate (1) neural building materials, (2) precursors to neurotransmitters and (3) an appropriate fund of neural buffers are supplied, neural networks may be created and forged quickly in order to meet the increasing demands of heavy neural traffic, especially in the prepubescent individual. And, there are roughly 100 billion neurons in the brain to be developed, along with a staggering 900 billion supporting glial ("helper") cells -- a grand total of one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) cells to be nurtured -- that's 10 times the number of stars estimated to be in our galaxy!

Växa's Attend is a safe, all-natural, homeopathic medicinal specifically engineered to help support the function of the Central Nervous System of individuals who are learning impaired, enabling the body to balance both neural growth and neurotransmitter production within the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS). Attend is completely safe and non-toxic! Unlike other medications, Attend works without the harmful side-effects that may stunt the growth of developing children. Indeed, Attend works to stimulate neural growth patterning and regenerative activity so as to forge more "connections" within the neural network important to people with nonverbal learning disorders.
