About the Training
Although prenatal alcohol exposure is the most common preventable cause of intellectual disabilities in the United States, global development most often falls into the normal range for children and youth with a history of prenatal exposure to alcohol and other substances. However, regulatory difficulties across the span of childhood and adolescence have significant implications for long term development and learning. This session will present a framework for understanding the brain-based developmental and behavioral difficulties of children and youth affected by prenatal substance exposure.
Our Partner
CWLA is pleased to partner with Dr. Ira J. Chasnoff the Founder & President of NTI Upstream to bring you the vital training series, Drugs, Alcohol, Pregnancy & the Vulnerable Child. We are also grateful to James Bell Associates for their generous sponsorship of the series to support greater participation.
This training series will explore the biological and environmental factors for children and families that impact the ultimate development of children affected by prenatal substance exposure, provide an overview of family- and school-based intervention strategies that can promote long-term growth and development of this high-risk population of children, and address the role of the child welfare system in ensuring best outcomes for all families and their children affected by prenatal substance exposure.
Each training session is a stand-alone learning opportunity. Participants are welcome to register for one or multiple sessions.
