While some presentations of neurodevelopmental disability align with diagnostic labels, many do not, leaving children whose conditions don\u2019t fit neatly under diagnostic labels struggling to access services or families and professionals feeling pressured to assign a diagnostic label in order to access services. In this paper, we (1) discuss the evidence showing that there is often a mismatch between a child\u2019s neurodevelopmental diagnosis, or lack of diagnosis, and function, (2) comment on the inequities exacerbated by diagnosis-based approaches for services, and (3) highlight the potential benefits of using a function and participation-based approach for providing services to children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. We close with three calls to action for function and participation-based approaches that could better support equitable services for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/pch\/pxac131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,30]],"date-time":"2023-03-30T16:43:20Z","timestamp":1680194600000},"page":"480-482","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Rethinking
