Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disorders are based in brain function, but are modified by the social and physical environment. They include autism spectrum conditions (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), chronic motor tics/Tourette (TS), and learning difficulties. This chapter describes the range of services likely to improve the quality of life in affected people. Services will be described according to their goals: promote understanding and reduce stigma, reduce the core symptoms, treat complications and comorbidities, reduce functional restrictions, and support caregivers.
