    The Iranian Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (IJND) is a premier, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that serves as a crucial resource for researchers, clinicians, and professionals involved in the study and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders. Established to promote the exchange of significant and innovative research findings, IJND is committed to advancing the scientific understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders and improving the lives of individuals affected by these conditions. By providing a platform for high-quality research, the journal aims to foster a deeper comprehension of the complexities of neurodevelopmental disorders and to support the development of effective interventions and policies. IJND is proudly published by Maher: Iranian Association for Intelligence and Talent Studies.

    Neurodevelopmental disorders encompass a broad range of conditions that arise during the developmental period and impact cognitive, motor, social, and emotional functioning. These disorders include, but are not limited to, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, and specific learning disorders. Given the profound impact these disorders can have on individuals, families, and communities, IJND is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research that addresses the multifaceted nature of neurodevelopmental disorders.
