Millions of children suffer from Nonverbal Learning Disorder, a neurological deficit that prevents them from understanding nonverbal cues like tone of voice and facial expressions.

Topics include:

--Getting a diagnosis

--Developing a treatment plan

--Helping your child make friends

--Dealing with setbacks
