Hi, I am new to this site and mum to 3 children. My youngest is a highly articulate, sociable and extremely active 8 yr old boy. He struggles badly with writing and is clearly underachieving so we requested an independent Ed Psych assessment. Instead of the mild Dyslexic overlap that we were expecting, he was diagnosed with Non Verbal Learning Disorder and warned of the Asperger features he exhibits - apparently there is a significant NVLD/Aspergers overlap.
Other than using a laptop, are there any tips that will help us and school understand and support him better? He interacts comfortably with other children of all ages although he is prone to talking an awful lot. He struggles with visual processing so even maths is really tough. He goes to an independent school and, whilst the school is extremely supportive, children with learning disabilities are few and teaching experience is therefore limited.
i have ordered a book but any useful links would be gratefully received - I feel a little lost. Many thanks.
