Comparison Among Children with Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Nonverbal Learning Disorder and Typically Developing Children on Measures of Executive Functioning
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014Co-Authors: Margaret Semrud-clikeman, Jodene Goldenring Fine, Jesse BledsoeAbstract:It has been suggested that children with Nonverbal Learning disabilities (NLD) or Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) may show difficulties with executive functioning. There were 3 groups in this study who completed a neuropsychological battery of visual-spatial, executive functioning, and reasoning tasks; AS (n = 37), NLD (n = 31), and controls (n = 40). Results indicated that children in both clinical groups scored within average limits on measures of spatial reasoning and verbal ability. Fluid reasoning was also found to be within average ranges for all groups. The AS group experienced significant problems with cognitive flexibility compared to the other two groups. In contrast the NLD group showed fewer difficulties with cognitive flexibility but more problems with visual sequencing. These findings suggest that performance on executive function measures for children with AS or NLD is remarkably similar with subtle differences present.

a model to guide the conceptualization assessment and diagnosis of Nonverbal Learning Disorder
Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Joseph E CaseyAbstract:Although many Learning disability types are formally recognized in major classification systems such as DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10, Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD) is not despite over 40 years of liter...

an evaluation of a case of agenesis of the corpus callosum with rourke s Nonverbal Learning Disorder model
Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2001Co-Authors: Patrick T Panos, Scott S Porter, Angelea Panos, Richard N Gaines, Phillip S ErdbergAbstract:Abstract This article evaluates the case of an 11-year-old male with congenital agenesis of the corpus callosum, against Rourke's NLD models. A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment was completed, and impairments with attention, movement, fine motor and sensory perception, visuo-spatial organization, and verbal memory were identified. Additionally, a volumetric analysis of the magnetic resonance image (MRI) was completed. Although no gross structural abnormalities, beyond agenesis, were present, the possibility of unobservable abnormalities was considered. Many predicted NLD deficits were clearly evidenced in this case, including associated behavioral problems. This study concludes that although Rourke's NLD model is descriptive of many aspects of white matter impairments, it may not account for the full range or severity of deficits that may be observed. In callosal agenesis, children may exhibit verbal Learning, auditory attentional, and verbal expressive difficulties.
