Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental disorders

Description

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) are, by definition, dynamic and changing over time. This dynamism of neurodevelopmental disorders means that comorbidity with other disorders and diseases is very high throughout the life cycle, especially in adulthood and ageing. The aim of the Research Group is to study these disorders and their evolution over time, with special emphasis on techniques and methods that improve the abilities of the people who suffer from them and their family environment, so as to generate a better quality of life, promoting the general health not only of the person with a Developmental Disorder but of all the members of the family unit.
