Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A growing number of requests for neurological consultations for children and adolescents was observed in the decade before Sars-COV2 pandemics within a broad context, including acute settings (neurological emergencies are life-threatening in up to one third of patients) and chronic/degenerative disorders (increasing knowledge regarding the genetic basis and pathophysiology of several diseases opened new perspectives for the optimization of diagnostic work-ups and the elaboration of novel “precision medicine” therapeutic strategies).

This Special Issue aimed to explore the real-world frontiers for clinicians and neuroscience researchers involved in the study and management of children and adolescents with neurological diseases. Original articles, brief communications, narrative or systematic review articles and case-based reviews (single case reports without a detailed associated review of the literature about the topic of the paper will not be accepted) in all fields of paediatric neurosciences will be taken into consideration for publication.

Prof. Dr. Mario Mastrangelo

Neurodevelopmental disorders can be studied from two distinct perspectives: an internal approach, which examines the causes and consequences of these disorders; and a contextual approach, which considers the role of the family in the lives of children and adolescents. Research has demonstrated that the most significant form of family involvement in families raising a child with NDD is through homework. This involvement has been shown to have an emotional impact on children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD or dyslexia. The objective of this study is to review published articles on homework and neurodevelopmental disorders, with particular attention to the role of the family and the emotional health of children and families. Method: The review followed the PRISMA guidelines. The final sample consisted of 11 articles, with samples ranging from less than 30 participants to more than 100 at the international level. Results: The results demonstrate the complex methodological and bibliometric picture of the final sample, as well as the many emotional and contextual variables that influence the relationship between homework and neurodevelopmental disorders. Conclusions: Future research should consider how emotional health affects the engagement of families with children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Full article
