DESCRIPTION:The developmental visuospatial disorder\, well-known as Nonver
 bal learning disability (NLD)\, is a neurodevelopmental condition defined 
 by deficits in visuospatial processing with possibly associated problems o
 n attention\, motor\, academic\, and social skills\, but without any neuro
 logic or genetic syndromes. Johnson and Myklebust (1967) were the first to
  use the term nonverbal learning disability for describing children with t
 he above-mentioned difficulties. Although this disorder is still not recog
 nized by the international classification systems\, the interest in this t
 opic has increased during the past 20 years\, with an effort to define sha
 red criteria for its diagnosis. Specifically\, a growing number of cross-d
 isorder comparison studies are collecting evidence that clearly shows neur
 opsychological distinctions between children with NLD and those with other
  neurodevelopmental disorders. The main results of those studies will be p
 resented together with a discussion on why shared criteria for the NLD wou
 ld improve research in this field and will open up new important scientifi
 c and clinical implications
