Nonverbal Learning Disabilities: A Guide to School Success
The Teacher's Manual

In the Teacher's Guide, the ideas presented in the book, Nonverbal Learning Disabilities:  A Guide to School Success, are brought to the point of practical application.  While in the previous book, developing IEP goals, writing accommodations, determining the Least Restrictive Environment and instructional strategies were discussed extensively, this manual provides concrete models, templates and examples for each of the stated areas.  It also includes a brief rationale and materials that educators can put into place during their next day of instruction.  Students with NLD require programs which are developed with their needs in mind.  The Teacher's Guide outlines the core components for developing a quality program.


Nonverbal Learning Disabilities: A Guide to School Success
This book shares the experience of three professionals who work with students with NLD in a variety of settings. Whether it is how to best present a writing assignment or how to ask a classmate to a dance, the authors have come to appreciate these students as creative, informed and personable. Rather than focusong on the limitations of this disability, these authors believe that with a quality comprehensive evaluation, a well-informed team, appropriate approaches, and the input of the student, academic and social success can be achieved.
