Featured Speakers
Ira Chasnoff, MD - President of NTI Upstream & Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine
The Mystery of Risk: Drugs, Alcohol, Pregnancy, and the Vulnerable Child
Children prenatally exposed to alcohol and drugs face increasing neurodevelopmental challenges as they grow and develop. These challenges translate into behavioral and learning difficulties in the classroom and in the home. This program will present an evidence-based approach to screening pregnant women for risk of substance misuse, explore the biological and environmental factors that impact pregnancy and the ultimate development of substance-exposed children, and provide a conceptual framework for assessing the behavior and learning difficulties of children affected by prenatal substance exposure.
At the completion of this session the participant will be able to:
- Describe and compare screening and brief intervention strategies for pregnant women.
- Discuss the impact of prenatal substance exposure on neonatal outcome.
- Name four criteria for diagnosis within Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.
- Analyze the impact of prenatal substance exposure on the long term cognitive and behavioral development of the child.
