The term 'Neurodevelopment' refers to how the nerves carrying messages to and from your brain develop. Everyone’s brain works differently, but Neurodevelopmental differences, difficulties or disorders (NDD), such as Autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), can mean that the way you see, hear or feel the world is different to others. Some people may experience social, communication, sensory or concentration difficulties.
If your child is believed to be experiencing differences or difficulties in their neurodevelopment, you might be recommended for an assessment by a health clinician. There are different routes to this, depending on where you live. You can find out more about each route below, along with some general resources that may also help.
