Early diagnosis and interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) among children under the age of three years in Nigeria

FacebookTwitterLinked In

Start Date: 30/09/2013- End Date: 30/09/2015


Project Lead(s): Muideen Bakare

The project in Nigeria will improve diagnosis and treatment of childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD) before age three, reducing associated social stigma. Late intervention for childhood NDD often leads to lack of access to education and impaired language ability. The project will incorporate routine surveillance and screening for childhood NDD into Nigeria’s well-established National Programme on Immunization.
