The role of neural plasticity in overcoming neurodevelopmental disorders
The word Neuro plasticity means the ability of the brain to adapt to new things, change, etc. which means that the brain is able to form new connections and repair the existing ones, and repair the damage in some areas. These abilities are useful when dealing with neurodevelopmental a disorder which is also known as (NDDs). As this helps the brain to adjust and improve itself during any challenges.
Let's understand what is Neuroplasticity?
Neural plasticity is of two forms:
• Structural: it is the physical growth of the new brain or removing the unused ones.
• Functional: it is the brain's ability to move an activity from one part to another, which is especially seen when some areas are damaged.
Person who is suffering with Neurodevelopmental disorders, their brain does not work how it should be but because of plasticity the brain adapt and improves if given correct support to it.
How Neural Plasticity Helps in Overcoming Neurodevelopmental Disorders?
 Improving Cognitive and Motor Skills: Persons those who are affected by Neurodevelopmental disorders their brain’s some of the part which are responsible for some selective works does not develops or works as it should be. However the term neuro plasticity helps to forms new connections and allows the children to repair the damaged area.
For example, reading and understanding words becomes difficult for a child suffering with dyslexia , as their brain is having trouble in understanding the words or the characters, if a medical disorder act is done with then their brain can develop new pathways which will help him/her in a easy way. Regularly practice and specialized training can help the children to overcome the disorder, which will help him/her to understand the words and the written language.
In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), neural plasticity will help to improve social and communication skills. Many persons with ASD have difficulty in reading social cues. Therapy programs such as social skills training or speech therapy will help the brain form new neural connections which will make these skills easy and help to learn with time. Also, some studies suggest that early intervention can help "rewire" the brain to become more flexible and responsive to social stimuli.

 Rehabilitation after Brain Injury: Developmental delays is a part that comes with neurodevelopmental disorder, sometimes we see that they might get a brain injury or a stroke which will directly affect their abilities. In this case, Neuroplasticity is very much important as it will help in making new connections, repair the brain.

For example, a child with ADHD faces difficulty in paying attention or control impulses because of their underactive areas in the brain, therapy, medication, and behavior interventions will help the brain adapt. The brain can form stronger connections in regions associated with focus, impulse control, and decision-making. Over time, this can reduce some of the symptoms of ADHD.
 Adapting to New Learning Strategies: Neuroplasticity is very much helpful in learning. When someone has a neurodevelopmental disorder, their brain can still learn new things and starts to tackle challenges. For example, children with ADHD often have trouble with organization and completing tasks. However, cognitive training and strategies like breaking tasks into smaller steps and practicing mindfulness can help strengthen areas of the brain related to focus and task management. Over time, these strategies can lead to improvements in attention and behavior.
CONCLUSION: Neural plasticity is a very helpful tool that helps the brain to adapt and understanding the difficulties caused by neurodevelopmental disorders. Through therapies, early intervention, and a positive environment, the brain can create new connections and improve cognitive, motor, and social skills. While neurodevelopmental disorders can be challenging, understanding and harnessing the brain’s plasticity offers hope for individuals to overcome obstacles and lead fulfilling lives.
