Perspective

Byron P. Rourke &
Darren R. Fuerst

Press, NY
ISBN
0-89862-767-2 |
|
The authors examine whether there is a cause and effect
relationship between psychosocial dysfunction (anxiety, depression, etc.) and
the pattern of neuropsychological assets and deficits of various learning
disability subtypes, particularly NLD. The book presents both scientific
research findings and numerous case studies which will be of interest to
researchers, clinicians, and educational specialists alike.

Nonverbal Learning Disabilities: The Syndrome and the Model
|
|
|
Byron P. Rourke
1989, The Guilford Press
ISBN
0-89862-378-2
|
|
This is clearly the most quoted book on the subject of NLD.
Dr. Rourke explains the premise that NLD is caused by dysfunction of the white
matter in the brain, and shares his extensive research and findings. He then
defines the disorder, outlining the characteristics, dynamics, and
manifestations of NLD. Although technically written, and likely a difficult
read for the layperson, it is worth the effort for anyone wanting a full
understanding of this syndrome.

"The
author has provided a book that is essential reading for caregivers of
children and adolescents with NLD. It should not only be read but kept
on hand for easy reference as the youngster develops. It should be
valued as a rich resource of helpful suggestions, and as a springboard
for the creativity of the concerned caregiver. Pamela Tanguay has done
all of us involved with the syndrome of NLD a great favor by providing
this book." - from the Forward by Byron P. Rourke, FRSC

Foreword by Sue
Thompson, MA, CET.
In this companion
book to Nonverbal Learning Disabilities At Home, the author
addresses issues related to the academic education of the child.
Topics such as school placement, program modifications, and
social/emotional issues are covered. However, the bulk of the book
outlines specific teaching strategies, from how to deal with essay
questions, to tips on helping the student master long division, and
ideas for improving reading comprehension. Concepts such as
frontloading, and a cooperative learning environment are defined, as
well as how they benefit the student with NLD.
