Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of conditions that manifest early in a person's development, often before the individual enters grade school. These disorders are characterized by developmental deficits that produce impairments of personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning. The range of developmental deficits varies from very specific limitations of learning or control of executive functions to global impairments of social skills or intelligence.
