Study Notes
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a group of conditions that are characterized by impairments in various aspects of cognitive and behavioral development. These disorders are typically diagnosed in early childhood but may not become apparent until later in life. There are several types of NDDs, including communication disorders, intellectual disability, specific learning disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Each of these disorders can have significant impacts on a person's day-to-day functioning and overall quality of life.
Communication Disorders
Communication disorders refer to impairments in spoken or written language that result in difficulty understanding or expressing ideas. These disorders can manifest as problems with articulation (speech sounds), fluency (stuttering), voice quality, or pragmatic skills (social rules of conversation). According to, communication disorders are among the most commonly encountered neurodevelopmental conditions, with worldwide prevalence rates estimated to be around 5-10%.
Intellectual Disability
Intellectual disability (previously referred to as mental retardation) is characterized by limited cognitive and adaptive functioning. People with intellectual disabilities often face challenges in communication, self-care, and independent living. Prevalence rates suggest that intellectual disability affects 1-3% of the global population.
Specific Learning Disorder
Specific learning disorder refers to a persistent impairment in at least one of the major areas of reading, written expression, and/or math. Commonly known as dyslexia, specific learning disorders can lead to difficulties in understanding and processing written text, spelling, grammar, and numerical calculations. Approximately 5-15% of school-age children are believed to struggle with some form of learning disorder.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD is marked by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Symptoms typically begin before the age of 12 and, although they may lessen in some individuals as they grow older, they rarely disappear entirely. Estimates suggest that around 5% of people worldwide are affected by ADHD.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined by qualitative impairments in social communication and restricted, stereotyped patterns of behavior. ASD can affect people to varying degrees, ranging from mild to severe, and it is generally evident within the early developmental period. Approximately 1.5% of the world population is diagnosed with ASD.
NDDs are complex conditions that require ongoing management and support. Early recognition and intervention are crucial to help individuals manage their symptoms and reach their full potential. Treatment plans may involve a combination of medication, therapy, and educational adjustments tailored to the individual's needs.
