Webinar Description

There are few specialists that serve adults with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDD), and most adults with NDD receive care from providers without specialty training in NDD. Care for this population is highly variable, and patient and caregiver priorities in this age group are not well known. We aimed to explore individual and caregiver values around adult neurodevelopmental care. 

In this qualitative study, we conducted 22 semi-structured virtual interviews from September 2021 to February 2022 with randomly selected adults with NDD and/or their caregivers. The need for adult neurodevelopmental care is growing as more individuals with NDD are living into adulthood. Better understanding of patient and caregiver values can help shape this emerging field to meet the needs of this unique, often overlooked and underserved, population.

Topics will include

• Insights into Caregiver and Patient Priorities: Exploring what truly matters in neurodevelopmental care for adults.
• Challenges and Opportunities in Adult NDD Care: Understanding the specific needs to tailor better health services.
• Future Directions in Neurodevelopmental Services: Shaping an emerging field to better serve this unique population.
