Non-verbal Learning: Disabilities are the most common type of learning disorder associated with epilepsy. Genetic & other medical causes of nld & epilepsy include hydrocephalus, neurofibromatosis type 1, phenylketonuria, agenesis of the corpus callosum ( midline structure that connects right & left hemispheres), & any factor that disrupts prenatal development of the right hemisphere. Ask your neurologist about these.
