What are neurodevelopmental disorders?

Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of conditions that affect the brain’s development and function, leading to difficulties in learning, behavior, and social interactions. These disorders typically emerge in childhood and often persist into adulthood. Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders include autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disabilities, and specific learning disorders. These conditions can have a significant impact on an individual’s daily functioning and may require ongoing support and intervention. Early identification and intervention are important in managing neurodevelopmental disorders and improving outcomes for affected individuals.
