Living With an Invisible Learning Challenge
Have you ever wondered what it is like to live with an invisible learning disability? Well then step into my and other’s world of Living with Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD). I want to provide a podcast for people with NLD or someone who knows someone who has it and wants to help improve their life. Awareness about NLD should be raised because the public needs to be more knowledgeable about it. This can be hard to do because it is one of the learning disabilities that someone can have without it being obvious.

Formal inclusion is crucial for securing correct diagnosis, insurance coverage, and services. Clinicians are urgently sought to test the new DVSD criteria this fall.
