Nonverbal Learning Disability Assessments

We provide specialized assessments that focus on Nonverbal Learning Disabilities (NVLD), including:

• Evaluation of visual-spatial and motor coordination skills
• Assessment of social skills and nonverbal communication challenges
• Executive function and organizational skill analysis
• Identifying challenges with interpreting body language, facial expressions, and social cues
