neurodevelopmental
Concerning neural maturation
Neurodevelopmental describes conditions affecting how the brain develops and functions from early life.
Neurodevelopmental disorders—autism, ADHD, dyslexia—emerge during childhood and influence learning, behavior, or social interaction: The clinic specializes in neurodevelopmental assessments.
The term appears in medical and educational contexts where brain development shapes a person's abilities or challenges.
