Social Implications

I found an article that mentions the social implications with children who have NLD.  While reading this article there was a lot of information I knew from previous research on the topic, but there were some things I was unaware of that I’d like to share.  Through my research I’ve found that when children have NLD, the problems usually start to develop in childhood but then it gets worsen with age.  Children who have NLD have a difficult time with interpersonal relationships and problem within social settings.  Something I didn’t know what NLD has been a newly-defined learning disorder.   In the article it states the “damaging aspects of the disorder is the fact that it causes the individual to be mostly incapable of recognizing nonverbal social cues.  The cues people rely on to tell them how to act in a given situation.”  This often times causes the child to be socially isolated during the teen and tween years.   I’d like to see if there is any kind of intervention to help these children during social situations, or to learn to cope with the social setting, and to develop friends.

Here’s the article I found if you’re interested in reading.
