How does nonverbal learning disorder affect learning?
Most kids with non-verbal learning disorders have trouble reading emotion in facial cues and body language, so they often don’t know what’s going on in social interactions. They miss the social patterns that other kids pick up automatically, so they don’t know what’s appropriate behavior in a given situation.
How do you accommodate nonverbal students?
Identify a calming zone at school where the student can go to regroup and relax. Teach social rules like how close to stand to people and how to interpret body language and other nonverbal cues. Pre-correct and prompt to help teach social skills. Respond to inappropriate behavior using respectful redirection.
