Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across the PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar databases for studies published between 2010 and 2025. Studies were included if they focused on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning or intellectual disabilities (LD\/ID), or specific learning disabilities (SpLD), and evaluated psychological or behavioral interventions. Results: A total of 34 studies met the inclusion criteria after screening and full-text review. The findings indicate that traditional interventions, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), demonstrate effectiveness in improving adaptive behavior, emotional regulation, and cognitive functioning. However, more recent approaches, including Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI), person-centered therapies, and gamified interventions, show greater alignment with neurodiversity principles by emphasizing individual strengths, autonomy, and environmental adaptation. Conclusions: Despite promising outcomes, the evidence base remains uneven, with a predominant focus on autism and limited high-quality studies addressing other neurodevelopmental conditions. The review highlights the need for more rigorous, inclusive, and longitudinal research, as well as the integration of neurodivergent perspectives in intervention design. Overall, the findings suggest that interventions incorporating individualized, strengths-based, and context-sensitive adaptations are associated with more consistent improvements in both functional outcomes and quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children13081071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T14:45:06Z","timestamp":1786545906000},"page":"1071","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Psychological Interventions for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities in the Context of Neurodiversity: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5861-7199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kalliopi","family":"Megari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology-CITY ULE, University of York, Europe Campus, 54626 Thessaloniki, Greece"},{"name":"School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Department of Psychology, University of Western North Macedonia, 53100 Florina, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8690-0314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitra V.","family":"Katsarou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preschool Education Sciences and Educational Design, University of the Aegean, 85132 Rhodes, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evangelos","family":"Mantsos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Western Macedonia, 50200 Ptolemaida, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0950-1456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Soultana","family":"Papadopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech Therapy, School of Health Sciences, University of Ioannina, 45500 Ioannina, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0411-1720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Efthymia","family":"Efthymiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Interdisciplinary Studies, Zayed University, Dubai 144534, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4200-4643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Theodoratou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, School of Health Sciences, Neapolis University, Pafos 8042, Cyprus"},{"name":"School of Social Sciences, Hellenic Open University, 26335 Patra, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0380-2220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Sofologi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Early Childhood Education, School of Education, University of Ioannina, 45110 Ioannina, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7995-8745","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eugenia","family":"Toki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech Therapy, School of Health Sciences, University of Ioannina, 45500 Ioannina, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Sturmey, P., and Matson, J.
