What is a neurodevelopmental disability?

A neurodevelopmental disability can affect a child or young person's:

  • intellectual development (their ability to think and reason)
  • motor development (how they use their muscles to move)
  • communication
  • behaviour
  • social development

Our team

We work with children and families in a range of settings including hospital, schools, charities and social services.

Our team includes a number of different health professionals, including:

  • doctors
  • nurses
  • speech and language therapists
  • occupational therapists
  • physiotherapists
  • psychologists
  • dietitians

This approach is described as 'multi-disciplinary'.

We work closely with colleagues in other services, for example our epilepsy and motor disorders teams, to make sure that our patients receive the right assessment and care in the most appropriate setting.
