THE LINK BETWEEN NEURODIVERGENCE AND BEHAVIOUR

Written By Jennifer Langdon

In many cases, behaviour concerns are linked to underlying neurodevelopmental differences such as:

  • Autism

  • ADHD

  • Learning disorders

What appears as:

  • Defiance

  • Lack of motivation

  • Non-compliance

May actually reflect:

  • Processing difficulties

  • Sensory sensitivities

  • Executive functioning challenges

Assessment is critical.

Without understanding the underlying profile, interventions may be ineffective.
