The survey was sent to 175 medical teachers in 2019, of whom 67 responded.

Impact on students and on teachers was considered as important (mean VAS score for impact over 60\/100 for all syndromes except for dyspraxia). Medical teachers\u2019 self-reported knowledge about neurodevelopmental disorders (mean VAS score 43.9\/100) and available pedagogical adaptations (mean VAS score 19.0\/100) was limited. The teachers were concerned about ethical issues (mean VAS score 72.2\/100) but were interested in receiving specialized training (mean VAS score 64.4\/100).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Medical teachers feel unprepared to manage students with neurodevelopmental disorders.
