Neurodevelopmental Service

The Neurodevelopmental service is not a crisis service. Information on our Local Services including NHS 111Wales.

What is Neurodevelopment?

Neurodevelopment means brain development. There are many factors that can impact on our brain’s development. Genetics can play a key role in this, but sometimes environmental factors can have an impact. 

As people, we are all diverse and our brains develop differently. Many of us will share common traits associated with certain neurodevelopmental conditions, but that does not always mean we will need an assessment and/or support. An assessment may be needed when it is clear there is a significant impact on our learning, relationships, emotional and physical health and/or life opportunities.

It is important to say that there are lots of reasons to celebrate those of us who can see the world differently, offer a different perspective, have a different set of skills and use different methods of communication. Being neurodiverse is not a negative thing. The most important part is gaining the understanding, support and acceptance of those around you and to embrace yourself knowing just what you can do!

Our Waiting Times
