Noori Child with a nonverbal learning disorder
Nonverbal Learning Disorder (Case study)
Three year old Noori was recently diagnosed with nonverbal learning disorder or nonverbal learning disability (NLD or NVLD)
Her parents are shocked and do not understand what this will mean for their daughter
They ask for your help they are both very upset as becoming pregnant with Noori was very difficult for them They expressed to you that is not acceptable to parent a ldquochildren with special needsrdquo
They beg you to make the diagnosis lsquogo awayrsquo and ask you lsquoto fix Noorirsquo
Nonverbal Learning Disorder
A nonverbal learning disability (NLD) causes problems understanding body language facial expressions and tone of voice A child with NLD also has trouble with balance and doing physical things
According to Dr David Dinklage There is clearly a great deal of overlap between Aspergerrsquos Disorder (AD) and Nonverbal Learning Disabilities (NVLD) so much so that it is possible that the symptoms of each describe the same group of children from different perspectivesmdashAD from either a psychiatricbehavioral perspective and NVLD neuropsychological perspective
However parents likely realize early on that something is amiss As preschoolers these youngsters probably have difficulty interacting with other children with acquiring self-help skills are not physically adept are not adaptable and present with a host of other troublesome problems that are of concern but not alarming

Nonverbal disorderDefinition
NLD was first identified around 1985 by Byron P Rourke who wrote that Nonverbal learning disability is defined as a dysfunction of the brains right hemisphere - that part of the brain which processes nonverbal performance-based information including visual - spatial intuitive organizational and evaluative processing functionsrdquo
NLD can be seen in three areas of child development motor social and visual-spatial Some children will exhibit problems in all three areas while some may only have problems with one or two of these areas
Nonverbal learning disorders are often misdiagnosed Often a child with NLD may initially be considered to have ADDADHD to be autistic or suffer from Asperger syndrome a reason for having multiple evaluations done
httpwwwgemmlearningcomnonverbal-learning-disorder-definition-symptomsphp
Nonverbal disorderWhat is the cause
NLD is caused mostly by problems in the right side of the brain Problems during pregnancy or birth increase the risk that your child will have NLD such as
A mother who smoked drank alcohol or was ill while pregnant
Very long labor at birth
Having the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck
Premature birth or low birth weight
Serious infections as a young infant also may increase the risk NLD affects boys and girls equally

Nonverbal learning
disorder or Nonverbal
learning disability
Studies conducted by the Yale Child-Study Group suggest that up to 80 of children who meet the criteria for AD also have NVLD most likely children with the more severe forms of NVLD also have AD Children from both groups are socially awkward and pay over-attention to detail and parts while missing main themes or underlying principles

Nonverbal Learning DisorderAccording to class note week-2 Aspergerrsquos Disorder is
childrenrsquos with Behavioral and Social Emotional Disorder
According to my case study Noori three years old diagnosed with nonverbal disorder or nonverbal learning disability (NLD or NVLD) NVLD can be conceptualized as an imbalance in thinking skills
Children with NLD are very verbal and may not have academic problems until they get into the upper grades in school Often their biggest problem is with social skills
Intact linear detail oriented automatic processing with impaired appreciation of the big picture gestalt or underlying theme NVLD is a learning disability not any psychological disorder
httpwwwaaneorgasperger_resourcesarticlesmiscellaneousasperger_nonverbal_learninghtml
Nonverbal Learning Disorder
It is not nearly as common as language-based learning disabilities but this may be a phenomenon created by environmental demands (ie our societal demands for precision skills in reading assure that even the most subtle language-based LD cases are identified)
The definition of Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD or NLD) is almost the opposite of what it seems to mean People with this disability are actually highly verbal but are challenged when it comes to processing non-verbal information
Typically socialpsychiatric concerns are raised before academic problems are identified
While the overlap is not complete NVLD children may meet the criteria for Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD NOS) Aspersers Disorder or Schizotypal Personality
httpwwwaaneorgasperger_resourcesarticlesmiscellaneousasperger_nonverbal_learninghtml
Nonverbal disorder (NLD)
NLD can be seen in three areas of child development
Motor SkillsChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or fork
SocialChildren with NLD are unable to process visual cues Scientists tell us that nearly 65 percent of a regular face-to-face conversation is communicated non-verbally that is to say with facial and hand gestures and with changes in tone or pitch
Visual-Spatial SkillsGroup activities such as being in a classroom may well be where NLD is most identifiable Because they are missing all of the non-verbal interactions going on around them they do not understand what is going on
httpwwwgemmlearningcomnonverbal-learning-disorder-definition-symptomsphp
Early Warning Signs Developmental histories sometimes indicate precocious
language development with slight delays in acquisition of motor milestones
As infants these children might have histories of tactile defensiveness
As a group these children are identified as learning disabled much later that usual Boys tend to be identified somewhat earlier than girls
These children are often regarded as clumsy or uncoordinated and as impulsive
These children are usually thought of as being bright but unmotivated and lazy
These children are highly verbal and articulate They will talk excessively in many situations but express relatively little meaningful content (eg cocktail party speech)
httpwwwgemmlearningcomnonverbal-learning-disorder-definition-symptomsphp
Early Warning Signs Generally these children will interact well with adults but
exhibit poor social interactional skills with children (and may have few friends)
Intellectually these children may have depressed performance scores relative to verbal scores on the WISC-R (an intelligence test)
Academically these children have a characteristic profile of hyperlexia or at least average reading recognition skills They may have a slow start in reading exhibit poor reading comprehension and have poor mechanical arithmetic abilities
These children will exhibit a characteristic profile on personality evaluation They will show peak scores on the Depression Anxiety Psychosis andor Withdrawal subscales of the Personality Inventory for Children Often they are referred for suspected primary emotional disturbance due to difficulties with their emotional functioning
httpwwwgemmlearningcomnonverbal-learning-disorder-definition-symptomsphp
Signs of NLDWhat are the signs of NLD Great vocabulary and verbal expression Excellent memory skills Attention to detail but misses the big
picture Trouble understanding reading Difficulty with math especially word
problems Poor abstract reasoning Physically awkward poor coordination Messy and laborious handwritinghttpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Signs of NLD Concrete thinking taking things very literally
Trouble with nonverbal communication like body language facial expression and tone of voice
Poor social skills difficulty making and keeping friends
Fear of new situations
Trouble adjusting to changes
May be very naiumlve and lack common sense
Anxiety depression low self-esteem
May withdraw becoming agoraphobic (abnormal fear of open spaces)
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Aspergerrsquos Disorder (AD)
Preoccupation that is overly intense and narrow
Inflexible adherence to non-functional or peripheral routines
Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements
Persistent preoccupation with parts of objects
There is no general language delay
E There is no severe global cognitive impairment

exhibit poor social interactional skills with children (and may have few friends)
Intellectually these children may have depressed performance scores relative to verbal scores on the WISC-R (an intelligence test)
Academically these children have a characteristic profile of hyperlexia or at least average reading recognition skills They may have a slow start in reading exhibit poor reading comprehension and have poor mechanical arithmetic abilities
These children will exhibit a characteristic profile on personality evaluation They will show peak scores on the Depression Anxiety Psychosis andor Withdrawal subscales of the Personality Inventory for Children Often they are referred for suspected primary emotional disturbance due to difficulties with their emotional functioning

Aspergerrsquos Disorder (AD)
Preoccupation that is overly intense and narrow
Inflexible adherence to non-functional or peripheral routines
Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements
Persistent preoccupation with parts of objects
There is no general language delay
E There is no severe global cognitive impairment

Nonverbal Learning Disorder
Nonverbal disorderWhat is the cause
NLD is caused mostly by problems in the right side of the brain Problems during pregnancy or birth increase the risk that your child will have NLD such as
A mother who smoked drank alcohol or was ill while pregnant
Very long labor at birth
Having the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck
Premature birth or low birth weight
Serious infections as a young infant also may increase the risk NLD affects boys and girls equally

Nonverbal learning
disorder or Nonverbal
learning disability
Studies conducted by the Yale Child-Study Group suggest that up to 80 of children who meet the criteria for AD also have NVLD most likely children with the more severe forms of NVLD also have AD Children from both groups are socially awkward and pay over-attention to detail and parts while missing main themes or underlying principles

Nonverbal Learning DisorderAccording to class note week-2 Aspergerrsquos Disorder is
childrenrsquos with Behavioral and Social Emotional Disorder
According to my case study Noori three years old diagnosed with nonverbal disorder or nonverbal learning disability (NLD or NVLD) NVLD can be conceptualized as an imbalance in thinking skills
Children with NLD are very verbal and may not have academic problems until they get into the upper grades in school Often their biggest problem is with social skills
Intact linear detail oriented automatic processing with impaired appreciation of the big picture gestalt or underlying theme NVLD is a learning disability not any psychological disorder
httpwwwaaneorgasperger_resourcesarticlesmiscellaneousasperger_nonverbal_learninghtml
Nonverbal Learning Disorder
It is not nearly as common as language-based learning disabilities but this may be a phenomenon created by environmental demands (ie our societal demands for precision skills in reading assure that even the most subtle language-based LD cases are identified)
The definition of Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD or NLD) is almost the opposite of what it seems to mean People with this disability are actually highly verbal but are challenged when it comes to processing non-verbal information
Typically socialpsychiatric concerns are raised before academic problems are identified
While the overlap is not complete NVLD children may meet the criteria for Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD NOS) Aspersers Disorder or Schizotypal Personality
httpwwwaaneorgasperger_resourcesarticlesmiscellaneousasperger_nonverbal_learninghtml
Nonverbal disorder (NLD)
NLD can be seen in three areas of child development
Motor SkillsChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or fork
SocialChildren with NLD are unable to process visual cues Scientists tell us that nearly 65 percent of a regular face-to-face conversation is communicated non-verbally that is to say with facial and hand gestures and with changes in tone or pitch
Visual-Spatial SkillsGroup activities such as being in a classroom may well be where NLD is most identifiable Because they are missing all of the non-verbal interactions going on around them they do not understand what is going on
httpwwwgemmlearningcomnonverbal-learning-disorder-definition-symptomsphp
Early Warning Signs Developmental histories sometimes indicate precocious
language development with slight delays in acquisition of motor milestones
As infants these children might have histories of tactile defensiveness
As a group these children are identified as learning disabled much later that usual Boys tend to be identified somewhat earlier than girls
These children are often regarded as clumsy or uncoordinated and as impulsive
These children are usually thought of as being bright but unmotivated and lazy
These children are highly verbal and articulate They will talk excessively in many situations but express relatively little meaningful content (eg cocktail party speech)

Noori the child has nonverbal learning disorder
ECErsquos Responsibility
As an early childhood educator first I have to stop and evaluate my feeling Then find something positive about the child or the situation After that I have to focus on how to improve the situation Finally make an achievable goal for the child and for myself ( Class note week-4)
As an Early Childhood Educator my role will be assist in making the earliest possible identification of developmental differences or at risk conditions The younger the child is identified the better (ie Placed on waiting lists for support may prevent secondary developmental problems) (class note week-4)
A major responsibility of teachers is to refer children to the appropriate support and services It is important that ECErsquos know local community services Then understand that a form 14 is needed to access services
Assist in creating and implementing IPPrsquos and IEPrsquos this includes providing thoughts ideas observations strategies and solutions
Work in collaboration with Resource Consultants Specialists families and coworkers
Engage in Professional Developmental opportunities
Be committed ( Class note week-4)
According to my case study Noori three years old was recently diagnosed with a nonverbal learning disorder which is learning disabilities The children who have NLD have learning disability who are suffered from organizational problems conceptual problems such as poor social skills reading difficulties doing math solving problems and nonverbal messages (Class note week-3)
The child like Noori who has learning disorder needs the environment where she can get attention or we can say she will need close observation and support in order to do all activities in daycare settings Therefore she needs small class size with 6-8 children she also needs all classroom aids to be available to assist her as the need arises Her daily routine should be consistence so that she can follow the daily activities without any difficulties She needs a highly structured day which is very predictable There should be both a teacher and an aid so that one of them is always available to assist Noori the NLD child when she is struggling

Adapting learning environment for Noori
Adapting learning environment for Noori
Visual Communication Workshop
Noori the child with nonverbal learning disorder needs visual communication workshop in order to know her daily activities for which she will feel comfortable in daycare settings
ldquousing visual cues allow us to plan organized and to be independent Visuals are equally important to children as they are beginning to learn about their world abound themrdquo( Class note week-8)
ldquo Types of visuals will depend on what is meaningful to the child Line draws can be helpful Pictures schedules can also be helpful especially when there are changes For example pictures can be also be turned ndashover or crossed out It can cause less stress when there are changes routinerdquo (class note week-8)
Child with NLD will get help to have visual communication because they face difficulties to follow routine transition and changing routine Therefore visual communication adding in environment of daycare settings will help her to do daily activities independently
Using Visual
Teaching strategies for Noori
Creating social stories
As I mention before child with nonverbal disabilities faced interaction with others making friends Therefore as an ECE I have decided to create social stories for Noori which can help little Noori to make friends and become social I can also use social stories to prepare Noori for new event and new skills I will also involve Noori writing and drawing pictures on the story book which will help her to organize story and also meaningful pictures that can be related the story All writing will be writen by Noorirsquos perspective so that she can feel the story related to her
ldquoSocial Stories (created by Carol Gray) are tools for teaching social skills to childrenrdquo (Reading Package)
ldquoSocial Stories are written from the childrsquos perspective using positive language in the first person lsquoIrsquo and in the present tense (Reading Package)
Creating Social Srories
Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

According to my case study Noori three years old was recently diagnosed with a nonverbal learning disorder which is learning disabilities The children who have NLD have learning disability who are suffered from organizational problems conceptual problems such as poor social skills reading difficulties doing math solving problems and nonverbal messages (Class note week-3)
The child like Noori who has learning disorder needs the environment where she can get attention or we can say she will need close observation and support in order to do all activities in daycare settings Therefore she needs small class size with 6-8 children she also needs all classroom aids to be available to assist her as the need arises Her daily routine should be consistence so that she can follow the daily activities without any difficulties She needs a highly structured day which is very predictable There should be both a teacher and an aid so that one of them is always available to assist Noori the NLD child when she is struggling

Creating Social Srories
Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Adapting learning environment for Noori
Visual Communication Workshop
Noori the child with nonverbal learning disorder needs visual communication workshop in order to know her daily activities for which she will feel comfortable in daycare settings
ldquousing visual cues allow us to plan organized and to be independent Visuals are equally important to children as they are beginning to learn about their world abound themrdquo( Class note week-8)
ldquo Types of visuals will depend on what is meaningful to the child Line draws can be helpful Pictures schedules can also be helpful especially when there are changes For example pictures can be also be turned ndashover or crossed out It can cause less stress when there are changes routinerdquo (class note week-8)
Child with NLD will get help to have visual communication because they face difficulties to follow routine transition and changing routine Therefore visual communication adding in environment of daycare settings will help her to do daily activities independently
Using Visual
Teaching strategies for Noori
Creating social stories
As I mention before child with nonverbal disabilities faced interaction with others making friends Therefore as an ECE I have decided to create social stories for Noori which can help little Noori to make friends and become social I can also use social stories to prepare Noori for new event and new skills I will also involve Noori writing and drawing pictures on the story book which will help her to organize story and also meaningful pictures that can be related the story All writing will be writen by Noorirsquos perspective so that she can feel the story related to her
ldquoSocial Stories (created by Carol Gray) are tools for teaching social skills to childrenrdquo (Reading Package)
ldquoSocial Stories are written from the childrsquos perspective using positive language in the first person lsquoIrsquo and in the present tense (Reading Package)
Creating Social Srories
Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire

Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)

Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Teaching strategies for Noori
Creating social stories
As I mention before child with nonverbal disabilities faced interaction with others making friends Therefore as an ECE I have decided to create social stories for Noori which can help little Noori to make friends and become social I can also use social stories to prepare Noori for new event and new skills I will also involve Noori writing and drawing pictures on the story book which will help her to organize story and also meaningful pictures that can be related the story All writing will be writen by Noorirsquos perspective so that she can feel the story related to her
ldquoSocial Stories (created by Carol Gray) are tools for teaching social skills to childrenrdquo (Reading Package)
ldquoSocial Stories are written from the childrsquos perspective using positive language in the first person lsquoIrsquo and in the present tense (Reading Package)
Creating Social Srories
Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Teaching strategies for Noori
Creating social stories
As I mention before child with nonverbal disabilities faced interaction with others making friends Therefore as an ECE I have decided to create social stories for Noori which can help little Noori to make friends and become social I can also use social stories to prepare Noori for new event and new skills I will also involve Noori writing and drawing pictures on the story book which will help her to organize story and also meaningful pictures that can be related the story All writing will be writen by Noorirsquos perspective so that she can feel the story related to her
ldquoSocial Stories (created by Carol Gray) are tools for teaching social skills to childrenrdquo (Reading Package)
ldquoSocial Stories are written from the childrsquos perspective using positive language in the first person lsquoIrsquo and in the present tense (Reading Package)
Creating Social Srories
Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Creating Social Srories
Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain
Some parenting tips for the children with NLD
Keep the environment predictable and familiar
Provide structure and routine
Prepare your child for changes giving logical explanations
Pay attention to sensory input from the environment like noise temperature smells many people around etc
Help your child learn coping skills for dealing with anxiety and sensory difficulties
Be logical organized clear concise and concrete Avoid jargon double meanings sarcasm nicknames and teasing
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm

httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder
Resource for NooriHow is it diagnosed
Your healthcare provider will ask about your childs symptoms and medical history and examine your child Sometimes scans of the brain will be done to screen for any physical problems
Your child may need to see a specialist They can do more testing and advise you about treatment Your school district may also provide testing services for your child
How is it treated
Several kinds of therapy can help treat NLD
Sensory integration therapy which is a kind of therapy that uses games to improve your childs sense of touch sense of movement and sense of body position
Social skills training to help your child learn how to respond to people
Help from your childrsquos school with math reading spelling and physical education classes
Physical therapy which helps improve your childrsquos strength and balance
Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Teaching strategies for Noori
Communication book
I will make a communication book for Noori This book will help the ECE to communicate with the parents to inform about the childrsquos progress which can help the ECE to collaborate with the parents to fulfill childrsquos needs
ldquoMaintaining open communication with a childrsquos family is very important but sometimes difficult to do Communication book allows child care staff and parents to exchange a few written words about the childrsquos day and night share information about appointments or special events and it can also be used as a record-kipping tool (Reading Package)
Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain
Some parenting tips for the children with NLD

httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder
Resource for NooriHow is it diagnosed
Your healthcare provider will ask about your childs symptoms and medical history and examine your child Sometimes scans of the brain will be done to screen for any physical problems
Your child may need to see a specialist They can do more testing and advise you about treatment Your school district may also provide testing services for your child
How is it treated
Several kinds of therapy can help treat NLD

Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Teaching strategies for Noori
Kipping Buddy
Noori the child with nonverbal disability has problem with social interaction and making friends Making lunch buddy will help her to communicate with other children and as an ECE I know children learn from their peers
Teaching Strategies for Noori
Giving choices
It is easy for the children with nonverbal disorder to follow the same routine everyday but sometimes giving them choices would be good teaching strategy So that they can enjoy learning and also think about making own decision which will build their self esteem I will give Noori some choices every other week
Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder
Resource for NooriHow is it diagnosed
Your healthcare provider will ask about your childs symptoms and medical history and examine your child Sometimes scans of the brain will be done to screen for any physical problems
Your child may need to see a specialist They can do more testing and advise you about treatment Your school district may also provide testing services for your child
How is it treated
Several kinds of therapy can help treat NLD

Social skills training to help your child learn how to respond to people
Help from your childrsquos school with math reading spelling and physical education classes

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention

Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire

Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm

ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole

Social skills training to help your child learn how to respond to people
Help from your childrsquos school with math reading spelling and physical education classes

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Using Tolls for NooriKurzweil 3000
Software which is a comprehensive reading writing and learning software program designed for individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder The software can access virtually any information whether it is printed electronic or on the web It facilitates active reading including highlighting text circle tools annotations Bookmarks Voice Notes and Extract in order to create outlines study guides or word lists It reads the words aloud to the student in clear humanlike voice (Class note week-8)
Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Fidget kits (Tools)These devices are used to help children focus and maintain attention during challenging activities such as learning in a classroom setting or child care setting These kits should contain sensory items that help maintain attention and focus but do not distract the person from learning or distract others in their environment These kits are often used for calming focusing and self regulation (Class note week-8)
Depending on the situation I can use this kit for Noori
Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Inspiration device (Tools)
A great program that helps children organizes their ideas visually It provides a tool create a picture of the ideas or concepts in the form of diagram Then if the child would like heshe can turn the diagram into outline with the click of button Whether the child prefers a visual diagram or an outline this tool can help guide the child as he she write essays (Class note week-8)
From this device Noori can get help to write something in organized way
Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder
Resource for NooriHow is it diagnosed

Your child may need to see a specialist They can do more testing and advise you about treatment Your school district may also provide testing services for your child

Task AnalysisSome children learn by watching and imitating Others need the skill to be broken down into smaller steps When you break down complex skills into smaller easier steps to learn it is called Task Analysis We often use Task Analysis or Task Sequences throughout the our day (Class note week-9)
I will set task analysis for Noori which will help her to do new task by herself I will do that by observing Noori closily then depending he ability I will break the task in small steps that Noori can easily complete the steps one by one and reached her goal
The critical step is being able to identify the skills the child already has Breaking down the skills in simple steps depends on the child ability Begin with the skills that are of use and motivating for the child It is a good one to start Once the child has been successful then move to more difficult tasks( Class note week-9)
Prompting and Fading
Prompting and Fading is used in teaching a new skill to support participation Prompt is cue or hint that helps the child will make the right response Use more obvious prompts when more obvious prompts when the skill is new Fading is a processes to gradually reduces how much help you provide It should only be used as long as needed ( Class note week- 7)
According to my case Noori is the child who has NLD which she might face difficulties about Motor Skills ldquoChildren with NLD often have weaker-than-normal motor skills both gross-motor and fine-motor Riding a bike or playing soccer can be difficult as can using scissors or even holding a pencil or forkrdquo (Website) She also might needs some extra help doing math activity Therefore I want to use prompting and fading strategy in order to complete her task
Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain

Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work

Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Prompting and Fading
Physical
Prompts are the greatest amount of support most helpful with new skills It involves using you hands over the childrenrsquos hands This is called the hand over hand technique and an example of full physical prompts Partial physical prompts is used with lighter physical assistance for the child to know what to do (Class note week-7)
I can use this technique to help Noori some motor activities such as fine motor and large motor activities
Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Prompting and Fading
Modeling and Demonstrating
Is showing the child how to do the skill or action while the child imitates (Class note week-7)
I will use modeling the activity to Noori in order to teach her new activity For example I will demonstrating picking up the block- when teaching imitation skills
Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain
Some parenting tips for the children with NLD

Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder
Resource for NooriHow is it diagnosed
Your healthcare provider will ask about your childs symptoms and medical history and examine your child Sometimes scans of the brain will be done to screen for any physical problems
Your child may need to see a specialist They can do more testing and advise you about treatment Your school district may also provide testing services for your child
How is it treated
Several kinds of therapy can help treat NLD
Sensory integration therapy which is a kind of therapy that uses games to improve your childs sense of touch sense of movement and sense of body position
Social skills training to help your child learn how to respond to people
Help from your childrsquos school with math reading spelling and physical education classes

Prompting and Fading
Gestural
Gestural Prompts include pointing nodding and gazing at the item (Class note week-7)
I will use this gestural prompts with Noori to tech her something new by using pointing I will reinforce with praising and rewarding the activity For example I request her ldquostack four blocksrdquo and I will point her the blocks and wait for few seconds for her respond If she able to do it will reinforce her by praising
Prompting and Fading
Visual Prompts
Visual Prompts is anything that you can see that will help the child perform the correct response Visual Prompts is anything that can see that will help the child perform the correct responce (Class note week-7)
I will use visual prompts with Noori which can help her to learn the activity by watching something such as doing something by using step by step pictures
Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)

Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Prompting and Fading
Positional Prompts
Positional Prompts is when the item is related to the skill is placed near the child Verbal prompts can be helpful with the certain tasks (Class note week-7)
This prompt can be used to observe Noorirsquos progress standing beside her and telling her what to do I will use this prompt when she needs less support but needs reminders
Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain
Some parenting tips for the children with NLD
Keep the environment predictable and familiar
Provide structure and routine
Prepare your child for changes giving logical explanations
Pay attention to sensory input from the environment like noise temperature smells many people around etc
Help your child learn coping skills for dealing with anxiety and sensory difficulties
Be logical organized clear concise and concrete Avoid jargon double meanings sarcasm nicknames and teasing
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Some parenting tips for the children with NLD
State your expectations clearly
Be very specific about cause and effect relationships
Work with your childrsquos school to modify homework assignments testing (time and content) grading art and physical education
Have your child use the computer at school and at home for schoolwork
Help your child learn organizational and time management skills
Make use of your childrsquos verbal skills to help with social interactions and non-verbal experiences For example giving a verbal explanation of visual material
Teach your child about non-verbal communication (facial expressions gestures etc) Help them learn how to tell from othersrsquo reactions whether they are communicating well
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Resource for Noori
Noori will need some therapies such as occupational and physical therapy psychological or speech and language (to address social issues)
As a teacher I will promote the inclusion of children with special needs in the child care community First of all I will encourage Noorirsquos parents to discuss about Noorirsquos signs and symptoms with her family doctor ldquoChildrsquos family doctor make the diagnosis then can advise parents about accessing and referral for diagnosis help the family find supportrdquo (Class note week-9)
Then Noori needs to see Pediatrician ldquo A Pediatrician specializes in child development and medical care for childrenrdquo (Class note week-9) Noori needs specialist for further and accurate information regarding her disorder
Resource for NooriHow is it diagnosed
Your healthcare provider will ask about your childs symptoms and medical history and examine your child Sometimes scans of the brain will be done to screen for any physical problems
Your child may need to see a specialist They can do more testing and advise you about treatment Your school district may also provide testing services for your child
How is it treated
Several kinds of therapy can help treat NLD
Sensory integration therapy which is a kind of therapy that uses games to improve your childs sense of touch sense of movement and sense of body position
Social skills training to help your child learn how to respond to people
Help from your childrsquos school with math reading spelling and physical education classes
Physical therapy which helps improve your childrsquos strength and balance
Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful

In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Steps of Prompts and FadingI will apply all of the prompts with Noori in order to teach her math First of all I would like to analyze the task by figuring out which task I want to teach her Then I will identity suitable prompts For example if I want to teach her social activity I would chose to modeling visual and positional prompts I will ldquogo through the smaller steps in task analysis determine the most amount of prompts the child will need to complete the steps (Class note week-7) I will also do some reinforcement by praising her work which can help her to grow self esteem After that I will fade the prompt reduce force delaying the time change the position or distance which can help her to do the task by herself Finally I will ldquomonitor results keep a list of prompts and share with othersrdquo( Class note week-7) Moreover I will return to stronger prompts when Noori will need it to reach her goal I will always keep my patient to teach not only Noori but also other children who have special needs which I have learned from my inclusion class that everyone learns at their own pace Therefore having patient is one of the key components to help children in learning environment ( Class note week-7) I also remember that ldquoSuccess built one step at a timerdquo (Class note week-9)
Child as a larger group of children
ldquoFull participation necessary supports must be provided so that all children can participate in some way in all activitiesrdquo (Reading Package) Children learn from their peers Noori is a child with nonverbal disability needs friends support in order to improve her social skills As I mentioned before children with nonverbal disorder have difficulties with social relationships Therefore it is important to introduce Noori with other children but there will be some limitation Small group of children like 6-8 children will be good number for Noori to have good social interaction She can learn from other children and also lunch buddy and reading buddy will help Noori to communicate with other children
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
One of the most important roles that parents play in their childs development is that of teaching their child social skills These skills include daily interaction skills such as sharing taking turns and allowing others to talk without interrupting The category of social skills can also be expanded to facets of self-control such as appropriate anger management For many children social skills are learned by observing how others in their environment handle social situations These children then imitate desirable responses such as turn taking and little thought is given to how the young child became so adept at playing board games cards or other activities that require a child to wait for others
By helping parents look at social skills as just thatmdash skills that the child must learn like any others (eg riding a bike or playing the piano) parents may be better able to tolerate some deficits in their childs behavioral repertoire
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Parents can help their children learn new behavior in a positive way by
practice praise prompting and pointing out
Practice Praise Point Out and Prompt
One framework that can be effective in teaching parents how to encourage their childs social skills development is referred to in our clinic as the ldquo4 Psrdquo approach (Christophersen amp Mortweet 2003) The four Ps stand for Practice Praise Point out and Prompt The purpose of the four ldquoPsrdquo is to break down the skills into concrete components that the parent can easily teach to their child To illustrate this approach to building social skills
httpwwwmedumicheduyourchildtopicsnldhtm
Needs of the Family as a whole
ldquoA successful partnership between parents childcare staff and specialized services is essential in order to meet the individual needs of each child within a group setting Participation of parents guardians is recognized as integral to the successful inclusion of children with special needs in childcarerdquo (Reading Package)
I will ensure Noorirsquos parents that she will improve if we work as a team She needs help from her parents teachers and specialized in order to complete her work successfully and lead normal life
Needs of the Family as a whole
I will also tell Noorirsquos parents that she can not cure from learning disability but can have normal life by getting help from parents and caregiversldquoThe right learning strategies techniques support and interventions can impact the learning process in significant and positive waysrdquo (Reading Package)
I will communicate with parents for daily basis where I let the parents know about Noorirsquos developmental progress Sharing our thoughts about Noorirsquos progress can help the parents and teachers to help Noori in her all domain
Some parenting tips for the children with NLD

Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms

Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful
httpwwwsummitmedicalgroupcomlibrarypediatric_healthbha_nonverbal_learning_disability
In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem

Parentrsquos Responsibility Ask your childs school about testing your child for a learning
disability
Ask if your child can have more time for work that involves handwriting spelling and math
If your young grade-school child prints poorly practice printing at home Also ask the teacher if you can start teaching cursive writing Many NLD children do better with cursive writing than printing
If your young grade-school child has messy handwritten papers work with them on staying on the lines and putting spaces between words A handy rule to teach is to keep one pinky-finger-width between words one-index-finger width between sentences and 2 finger widths as margins on both sides of the page
If your child has messy handwritten papers start teaching them to use a computer word processor for written papers
Teach the steps to math operations (like long division and working with fractions) by talking through the steps Encourage your child to say the steps aloud as they go
Parentrsquos Responsibility
Teach the spelling of difficult words by having your child write them over and over Often writing the words large like on a white board is more helpful than writing them on paper
Talk with your childs teachers about when your child can use a calculator and spelling checker to help with their work
Help your child identify emotions and the meanings that go with facial expressions and body cues and figure out appropriate responses
Ask the school counselor or teachers to help teach your child how to interact better with other children and how to interpret the reactions of others
Children with NLD may be anxious and depressed Professional counseling may be helpful

In Conclusion There are no cures or direct treatments for an NLD Medicines are generally not helpful for NLD but may help with some symptoms
Tutoring and special instruction in the areas of weakness are helpful Some children may need special education classes at school for some or all academic subjects
Seeing a pediatric occupational therapist is often helpful Occupational therapy helps your child learn better visual processing skills This will help with drawing keeping spaces between words and handwriting The therapist may also use sensory integration (SI) therapy SI therapy involves special activities that help children overcome problems with senses such as touch sight hearing and movement This may improve their behavior and ability to pay attention
Children who have social skill problems often need training in how to respond socially Counseling can help to teach social skills and help deal with low self esteem
