Abstract

This literature review focuses on some more or less common neurodevelopmental disabilities and brain abnormalities during childhood and their implication in cognitive functioning. Illuminates the neurocognitive domains, impacted by such disabilities, assesses the degree to which each disability exhibits shared characteristics and connections, analyzes their limitations, and suggests future research methods for the gaps to be further covered. Alterations in brain activity are associated with the development of cognitive skills from infancy through early adolescence. Children diagnosed with various neurodevelopmental disorders exhibit neurocognitive deficits in domains, such as attention, memory, verbal communication, global intelligence, and certain executive functions, whereas their language and visuospatial abilities may differ. Adequate personalized treatment plans and strategies for those affected by such conditions enhance their overall well-being and reduce caregiver distress.
