    Neurodevelopment in children is a dynamic inter relationship between various components including genetic, brain, cognitive, emotional and behavioral processes throughout the developmental lifespan. Neurodevelopmental diseases and disabilities can be caused by a significant and ongoing interrupti on to this dynamic process caused by environmental and genetic risk. Impairments in personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning are hallmarks of these disorders . When these children reach school age, they are at greater risk of having special e ducational needs and experiencing difficulties in their learning or socialization at school. The number of children with disability attending school is extremely low in developing nations, and the overall enrollment rate is frequently under 10% in those na tions where statistics are available. Although some research in our country have attempted to study this, there is a shortage of information specifically related to neurodevelopmental diseases.
