Inspired by the parable of six blind men and an elephant, the authors have long been struck by the number of specialists who come into contact with children with NVLD. Each profession may emphasize a particular aspect of NVLD and may even have its own professional jargon to name it. Speech and language pathologists often refer to this condition as a semantic-pragmatic disorder; occupational therapists, as a developmental coordination disorder; and special educators, as a developmental math disorder. Many psychologists refer to these students as struggling with social skills problems; and Byron Rourke, a neuropsychologist, used the phrase “nonverbal learning disability.” The authors believe professionals do not communicate enough about how services and perspectives need to be coordinated. This chapter identifies a subtype model for NVLD. It offers a developmental perspective of NVLD across the lifespan, and emphasizes the need for teams and collaborators to organize treatment from three perspectives: hospital, school, and family. Finally, the authors address ways in which parents and other family members can best organize and manage these teams that will change over time due to the nature of the disorder.
