We still haven't gotten the results from the genetics doctors, however since then Johnathon has been diagnosed with Non Verbal Learning Disorder. Nonverbal Learning Disorder, known as NLD, is a neurophysiological disorder originating in the right hemisphere of the brain. Reception of nonverbal or performance-based information governed by this hemisphere is impaired in varying degrees, including problems with visual-spatial, intuitive, organizational, evaluative, and holistic processing functions. Right know we are working on IEP and a formal 504 plan at school to help Johnathon with his struggles. There are alot of challenges ahead for him. But he takes every day one day at a time. He is a happy and very loving child with big hopes and dreams. Hopefully by helping him with his NLD his hopes and dreams will be easier to accomplish.
