What is NDD / Neuro-Developmental Delay?

The term NDD or Neuro-Developmental Delay describes the omission or arrest of a stage of early development.

Every normal, full-term baby is born with a set of primitive or survival reflexes that are inhibited or controlled by higher centres in the brain during the first year of life.

If these are not inhibited at the correct time, they remain active in the body and can interfere with balance, motor control, eye functioning, eye-hand coordination and perceptual skills. They can result in behavioural symptoms such as frustration, hyperactivity and hypersensitivity, and failure to match performance to ability.

NDD Child Screening Questionnaire

If you suspect NDD / Neuro-Developmental Delay might be a factor in your child’s presenting problem(s), we suggest you complete the Initial Screening Questionnaire.
