Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurodevelopmental disorders are conditions that affect the development of brain function. They range from mild impairments, allowing those affected to live fairly normal lives, to severe disorders that require lifelong care.

Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorders, cerebral palsy, and impairments in speech and language.
