Darren E. Fuerst

Harper Hospital Detroit, Michigan

Evidence bearing upon the relationships between profiles of neuropsychological assets and deficits, subtypes of learning disabilities, and patterns and degrees of psychosocial functioning is reviewed. The dimensions of incidence and type of psychosocial disturbance and the differential manifestations of these in two subtypes of learning disabilities are examined. Conclusions relating to the neurodevelopmental bases of the pattern of psychosocial functioning most often seen in children and adolescents with the syndrome of nonverbal learning disabilities are emphasized.
