About

    Neurodevelopmental disorders are conditions that affect the development of the brain and nervous system, leading to difficulties in learning, communication, behavior, and social interactions. These disorders typically manifest in childhood and are often lifelong conditions that can have a significant impact on an individual's daily functioning. Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders include autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, and specific learning disorders. Research in this area aims to better understand the underlying causes of these disorders, develop effective interventions and treatments, and improve quality of life for individuals affected by neurodevelopmental disorders.
