It examines how a child’s psychology – thoughts, feelings, beliefs – affects his or her functioning and learning. In addition, the book addresses how a child’s experiences are processed through individual personality, psychology, culture, environment and economic circumstances, and family dynamics. Using these psychological organizing principles, the book describes how to work most effectively with young patients with NVLD. It offers a new model and definition for understanding NVLD, emphasizing its core deficit of visual-spatial processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, this book addresses efforts to rename NVLD to \u003ci\u003edevelopmental visual-spatial disorder\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eDVSD\u003c\/i\u003e).
