Neurological Condition definition

Neurological Condition means a condition that originates in and directly affects the brain, leads to delays in achieving expected milestones, and is likely to cause lifelong impairments of personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning. A condition does not originate in and directly affect the brain if the condition only causes abnormalities or changes of the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, cardiovascular system, or musculoskeletal system. Conditions that do not originate in and directly affect the brain include, but are not limited to, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, and non-shunted spina bifida.
