Paper Abstract:	Neurodevelopmental disorders consist of a wide range of conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. These conditions affect a significant proportion of the population and their correct diagnosis is crucial for the patients' quality of life and their targeted education. Neuropsychological testing and cognitive assessment play a very important role in the diagnosis and management of neurodevelopmental disorders. Cognitive assessments had been performed in the past primarily through pencil and paper but great advancements have been made in this field. New technological means have vastly enhanced the capabilities and potential in the area of neurocognition with the use of computers, gamified cognitive tests, biomarkers, such as electroencephalographic waves, and neurofeedback. This can bring an expanded understanding of how the brain works, increased accuracy and objectivity. The aim of our proposed study is to assess whether young people and children with neurodevelopmental disorders perform differently in a battery neuropsychological test. The proposed test will incorporate the idea of providing 'real time' brain activity by simultaneously recording electroencephalographic waves during the completion of the test through a portable device. The integration of electroencephalogram data into this test has the potential to contribute to the creation of a universal assessment tool. This tool could find utility in diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders in children across different scenarios.
