Abstract
Background: Well-structured monitoring system is crucial to identify interventions for children with Neurodevelopmental

Subjects and methods: The NIDA Network enrolled more than 760 at risk for NDD and typically developing infants to detect
early signs of NDD.
Results: The NIDA Network was born in some Italian regions to engage clinical centers in a research project. It is increasingly
turning out to be a national monitoring project well integrated in the Italian National Health System policies.
Conclusions: The NIDA Network activities are finalized at diagnosis and interventions to improve quality of life of children with
NDD and their families.
