FIND OUT NOWWhat are neurodevelopmental disorders?
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are conditions that affect how the brain functions. The disorders range from mild impairments, allowing those affected to live fairly normal lives, to severe disorders that require lifelong care. Examples of rare NDDs include Angelman SYNGAP1 or STXBP1 and WOREE syndromes. In some cases, the cause of the NDD may be genetic.
Neurodevelopmental disorder symptoms
Neurodevelopmental disorders influence how the brain functions and alter neurological development. The specific symptoms will vary depending on the disorder. Symptoms generally present themselves early, and can appear soon after birth or at any point until adolescence. Seizures or missed milestones tend to be the first noticeable signs. Our current no-cost testing programs are dependent on the patient experiencing some or many of the following symptoms:
- Seizures
- Motor-skill delays
- Developmental delays
- Developmental regressions
- Intellectual disabilities
- Behavioral issues
- Movement disorders (such as ataxia or tremors)
- Hypotonia (or low muscle tone)
- Spasticity (or increased muscle tone)
- Feeding difficulties
- Seizures when eating
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Impaired horizontal smooth pursuit
Facts about neurodevelopmental disorders
1.
Many rare neurodevelopmental disorders do not have an approved therapeutic intervention.
2.
NDDs are defined as a group of conditions with onset in the developmental period, inducing deficits that produce impairments of functioning.
3.
Ongoing research is needed to improve treatment options for these disorders; we're partnered with researchers to help with that.
