What is NVLD? Why do some people want to change the name of NVLD to developmental visual-spatial disorder? What difficulties do people with NVLD have?

Ever since Brandon Lane Phillips, M.D. had his first open-heart surgery when he was 2 years old, he wanted to be a pediatric cardiologist, just like the doctors who helped save him. Over the years, Brandon had multiple treatments and surgeries and thrived. At school, Brandon became an academically gifted student after repeating the first grade, but often felt that he struggled to keep up. He made it into medical school and in third year was referred for an educational assessment after scoring lower on a standardized exam than expected.
Dr. Brandon Lane Phillips met Dr. Amy Margolis, an Associate Professor of Medical Psychology, at a Non Verbal Learning Disorder, or NVLD, conference. Dr. Margolis is the Principal Investigator of a project sponsored by the NVLD Project that examines the neural correlates of Non-Verbal Learning Disability.
Dr. Phillips and Dr. Margolis are joining us today to share their experiences of nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD).
