The research was directed at setting up guidelines for an interdisciplinary
team which deals with children suffering from nonverbal learning disorder in
middle childhood. The primary motive for the study was to, in general, further
greater awareness of nonverbal learning disorder with parents and the
relevant professions, but in particular, the interdisciplinary team which
therapeutically handles children with nonverbal learning disorder.
For the purpose of this study Thomas and Rothman's Intervention Research
Model was applied. Information from relevant literature and semi-structured
interviews with expertise in the area of learning disabilities was combined in
order to set up guidelines for nonverbal learning disorder in middle childhood.The researcher concludes that thorough background knowledge of child
development should be a precondition before nonverbal learning disorder
could be identified and diagnosed. Because areas of development function
interdependantly of each other, the developmental defecits of the nonverbal
learning disorder child can only be treated effectively in a therapeutic way
through an interdisciplinary team approach. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play therapy)
