No Muckin’ Around

Assessing and diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders are challenging, particularly in remote communities where limited specialist services are available. Conducting neurodevelopmental assessments in primary care could aid early detection and intervention for developmentally vulnerable children, but systemic issues like limited workforce scope and capacity, limited remuneration for the time required, and lack of culturally-responsive approaches make it challenging. Three case studies demonstrate how the Tracking Cube, a culturally-responsive model of care co-designed with a remote First Nations community, can be used to identify children with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders within primary care.
