Learning disorders are considered neurobehavioral disorders (Stewart 2002 p. 4). These disorders are classified as an abnormality in the way the brain processes information (Stewart 2002 p. 4). It should be noted that neurobehavioral disorders are not considered an intellectual disability, but rather a difference in cognition, as well as difficulties in the way an individual understands external stimuli and in the way they interact with the world. (Stewart 2002 p. 4). Although learning disabilities have traditionally been defined as disorders accounting for verbal deficits, there has recently been a shift in the definition of learning disabilities to neuropsychological disorders that affect learning and behavior (Grodzinsky et al., 2010 p.435). Nonverbal learning disorder is an example of a disorder classified as a neurobehavioral disorder in which the right hemisphere of the brain is affected (Harendek & Rouke 1994 p. 144, Stewart 2002 p. 4). This article contains a review of the literature on information relating to nonverbal learning disorder. Nonverbal learning disorder is characterized by a set of strengths and weaknesses (Casey 2012 pp. 35-36, Forrest 2004 p. 129, Harendek & Rouke 1994 p. 144, Grodzinsky et al., 2010 p.436) . However, in recent years it has become clear that there is no clear definition of nonverbal learning disorder and what it entails (Forrest 2004, p. 131, Grodzinsky et al. 2010, p. 434). Essentially, each case of nonverbal learning disorder may present differently (Forrest 2004, p. 131, Grodzinsky et al. 2010, p. 434).
