The Children's Nonverbal Learning Disabilities Scale (C-NLD) is an assessment that screens for the symptoms for nonverbal learning disabilities in children, which can affect a child's visual spatial organization, motor abilities, and social interactions.[1] All questions in the assessment are categorized in three headings: motor skills, visual-spatial skills, and interpersonal skills.

The C-NLD is a 15 question measure intended to be filled out by the parent or guardian of the child. Each of the 15 questions are answered based on a four-option Likert scale, containing "Never/Rarely", "Sometimes", "Often/Always", and "I don't know" answer choices. The scale contains three sections; the first section is designed to assess motor skills consists of 4 questions, the second section is designed to assess visual-spatial skills consists of 7 questions, and the last section assesses interpersonal skills and consists of 4 questions[2].

Interpretation

C-NLD Scoring

Non-verbal learning disorder includes multiple specific symptoms characterized into three specific ares: neuropsychological deficits (deficits with perception, psychomotor coordination, memory, reasoning, and aspects of speech), academic deficits (mathematical reasoning, reading comprehension, and comprehension of written language) and social-emotional/adaptational deficits (social awareness and difficulties in social interactions)[2].

The C-NLD works as a primary screening measure, and referral to a neuropsychologist for further testing is advised if the parent C-NLD report indicates "sometimes" or "often" for over half of the items in each of the three sub-sections[2].
