Modified Approaches to Treating Anxiety for Children With Visual-Spatial Problems: A Strengths-Based Perspective.

Anxiety disorders are common and impairing and affect as many as 30% of youth with and without neurodevelopmental disorders. Nonverbal learning disability (NVLD) is an understudied neurodevelopmental disorder with an estimated prevalence of 3% in North American children and adolescents. Although definitions of NVLD vary, all include a core deficit of difficulty with visual-spatial processing.

Interhemispheric connectivity and executive functioning in adults with Tourette syndrome.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is relatively smaller, and the corpus callosum (CC) larger, in adults with Tourette syndrome (TS). The authors explored the possible roles of the PFC and the CC in mediating interhemispheric interference and coordination in TS adults. They measured performance on M.
