The term neurodevelopmental refers to the process by which a person's nervous system develops and matures from early childhood through adolescence. This includes the growth and development of brain cells, neural connections, and cognitive abilities such as learning, memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Neurodevelopmental disorders are conditions that affect this process, often resulting in delays or difficulties with various aspects of a person's physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders include autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, and certain learning disabilities. These conditions can have significant impacts on an individual’s daily life, but with appropriate support and intervention, many people with neurodevelopmental disorders are able to lead fulfilling lives.
