Part 1 – Care for Neurodivergent Children and Their Families
Description
In this first part of our two-part discussion with Dr James Best, we explore the important role primary care clinicians play in treating neurodivergent children. James highlights the value of taking a holistic view of both the family and the child’s environment. He also explains how forming a genuine partnership with parents or carers is central to treatment — a relationship that must be managed with care and empathy.
