Parents of children attending a neurodevelopment and disability clinic completed surveys focused on their family's functioning (Family Assessment Device\u2014General Functioning; FAD\u2010GF), understanding of their child's disability (Parent Experience of Childhood Illness\/Condition; PECI) and family adjustment to caring for their child (Family Management Measure; FAMM).

This finding may be indicative of ongoing and persistent challenges for families as they integrate the care of their child into family life, regardless of the type of disability\/condition, age at diagnosis and time elapsed since diagnosis. For families in this sample, many children had more than one comorbidity to their primary diagnosis\/condition, and the complex nature of learning about their child's condition\/s unfolds over time.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study advances our understanding of family life with disability by examining key factors shaping the experience of caring for children with complex needs across various neurodevelopmental disorders.
