Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of complex conditions with onset in the developmental period, that produce impairments of global functioning. For these features, the rehabilitative approaches should be flexible, tailored to the individual characteristics of each patient, and characterized by a standardized multidimensional view, for taking into consideration all the several areas of neurodevelopment. This single-arm clinical trial aims to investigate the features, feasibility, and limitations of Neuro-Psychomotor (NPM) intervention, an Italian naturalistic model for children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. 30 children (16 with Mixed Specific Developmental Disorder vs 14 with Intellectual Disability) were recruited and their parents filled out two validated tools questionnaires (Developmental Profile-3 and Sensory Processing Measure), before and after 6 months of NPM intervention. Although with some limitations, findings showed that NPM intervention is reliable, flexible, and helpful for children with different neurodevelopmental disorders. Further studies are necessary to investigate its efficacy on a larger sample.
神经发育障碍是一组在发育阶段起病的复杂病症，会导致整体功能受损。基于这些特征，康复方法应灵活多样，根据每位患者的个体特征量身定制，并具有标准化的多维视角，以便考虑到神经发育的所有多个领域。这项单臂临床试验旨在研究神经心理运动（NPM）干预的特征、可行性和局限性，NPM干预是一种针对神经发育障碍儿童的意大利自然主义模型。招募了30名儿童（16名患有混合性特定发育障碍，14名患有智力障碍），他们的父母在NPM干预6个月前后填写了两份经过验证的工具问卷（《发育概况-3》和《感觉统合能力发展评定量表》）。尽管存在一些局限性，但研究结果表明，NPM干预对患有不同神经发育障碍的儿童是可靠、灵活且有帮助的。有必要进行进一步研究，以在更大样本上调查其疗效。
