Neurodevelopmental Psychology

Neurodevelopmental Psychology studies how the brain and nervous system grow and change over time, influencing behavior, learning, and emotional health. It examines how early brain development affects cognitive skills, social interactions, and mental health throughout life. This field helps us understand conditions like autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities by exploring how brain development may differ from typical patterns. By understanding these processes, professionals can better diagnose, support, and develop interventions to promote healthy development and improve quality of life for individuals with neurodevelopmental differences.
