As much as 85% of brain development takes place in the first five years of life. During this time, children acquire language, problem-solving, fine motor and other essential skills, rapidly developing as they learn, play and discover who they are.
Yet, the developing brain is vulnerable to injury and illness.
Rady Children’s Neuroscience Institute is a national destination for innovative, whole-child care to improve brain health and restore well-being for children living with neurological diseases and conditions.
