Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are characterized by deficits in the development of the central nervous system that can affect a child’s memory, language, motor function, and ability to learn, socialize, and maintain self-control. They frequently co-occur and may be associated with severe impairments of functioning in adulthood. Neurodevelopmental disorders are clinically diagnosed by evaluating the presence of aberrant behaviors or delays in achieving developmental milestones and by comparing such behaviors with those of children of the same age, sex, and culture.1
