Résumé
Nonverbal learning disability is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a core deficit in visuospatial processing with possibly associated problems in attention, motor, academic, and social skills, but without associated neurologic or genetic syndromes. The present chapter, after a brief historic overview of this disorder, will present fresh evidence that clearly shows neuropsychologic and neuroanatomical distinctions between children with nonverbal learning disability and those with other neurodevelopmental disorders. It ends with an attempt to find shared and valid diagnostic criteria. Acknowledging this disorder as a distinct diagnostic category will open up new research avenues with important scientific and clinical implications.
