 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Article Evaluation[edit]
- Discrepancy between calling NVLD "nonverbal learning disorder" and "nonverbal learning disability"
- The Cause section is extremely underdeveloped.
- Needs a Mechanism section, describing the timeline for development with someone with NVLD.
- What treatment or management options exist for those with NVLD?
- A society and culture section could be added to address stigma/awareness as well as perception of NVLD in society.
- Source 1, 7, 8 and 11 are primary sources and must be removed from the article.
- Change "See also" section could be changed to "Research directions" on NVLD.

In clinical settings, some diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder would be more appropriately classified as NVLD.(This information shouldn't be in the lead section. There are multiple comorbidity issues with NVLD further discussed in the diagnosis section)
