- Autism Us 'Marilyn Martin's book Helping Children with Nonverbal
Learning Disorder to Flourish is an exciting and essential new
addition to the literature. Martin shines in her ability to match
interventions to a broad range of problems and examples abound in
every chapter. Clear, concise, and detailed explanations are given
so that the interventions can be applied skillfully. Each
intervention is presented in a terrifically useful and usable
format that includes the problem, strengths available, proposed
solution, how the solution can be generalized, the goal of the
intervention, and a very up-to-date and helpful listing of relevant
resources.' - from the Foreword by Michele Berg, Director, Center
for Learning Disorders, Family Service and Guidance 'Imagine
getting lost in your own home, forgetting where the bathroom is at
work, or being unable to operate a simple door knob. These are just
some of the myriad challenges faced by individuals with a Nonverbal
Learning Disability, or NLD. In Helping Children With Non-Verbal
Learning Disabilities to Flourish, Marilyn Martin gives an overview
of NLD and strategies for teaching individuals with this
disability. Using examples of her struggles to help her daughter,
who has NLD, as well as current research, she has written a book
helpful for both parents and professionals. In addition to her
experiences with her daughter, Martin is a Learning Specialist with
more than fifteen years of experience working with students who
have dyslexia, NLD, and other learning disorders. This book is a
good introduction to NLD and interventions for treating it. As it
gains recognition as a distinct learning disorder, interventions
and informative books, like this one, will open doors, literally
and figuratively, for families and individuals touched by NLD.' -
