Barriers and facilitators to accessing services for neurodevelopmental disorders among the carers of individuals from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups in the UK: a scoping review
Access to neurodevelopmental care for carers from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups in the UK is shaped by complex, multifactorial barriers. These communities are not homogeneous, and evidence gaps make it unclear whether challenges are shared or distinct. Greater understanding is needed to inform culturally appropriate, evidence-based policy and practice. Further research is essential to address disparities and improve equitable access across all groups.
