The games and
puzzles listed in this section were selected to develop those skills which
are typically weak in individuals with NLD. The games cover a range of skill
sets, ages, and developmental stages. Some may require parental instruction
at first, and others are self-explanatory.
Computer
games are a very effective teaching strategy, especially for children with
NLD. They are able to learn in a one-on-one environment (the computer acting
as teacher), at a pace that is appropriate for them, and most quickly
forget, or are unaware, that the game covers a topic that may upset them.
Although
there are many games to choose from, we recommend that you first target one
or two skills that you would like to strengthen. Working on too many areas
at once can be overwhelming and counterproductive. You will have the best
results if the game is stimulating, a little challenging, but most of all,
fun!
