What is Neurodevelopmental?

    Neuro (nerves) development (how the nerve pathways carrying messages are created) involves the brain’s influence on how your body functions.Everyone’s brain works in different ways but Neurodevelopment challenges and or/difficulties, such as Autism and ADHD, may mean the way you see, hear or feel the world is different to others. Some experiences may include social, communication, concentration and memory difficulties.

    Why are the improvements being made?

    It is hoped that the improvements will create more positive experiences with children, young people and families who have concerns about Autism, ADHD and/or behaviours that challenge (sometimes known as NDD).
    One of the key improvements of the pathway is that it is a ‘needs led’ approach with access to support with or without a diagnosis.

    The improvements to the Neurodevelopmental Pathway will be reviewed after a trial period to see how well they are working for families.
