Guided growth: Behavioral interventions for children affected by behavioral dysregulation

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 session will provide a conceptual framework for understanding these difficulties from a regulatory perspective and discuss how this framework can be applied to the development of behavioral and educational interventions in the child affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol, marijuana, and illicit drugs.

Learning objectives:

  • Name three domains of neuro behavioral functioning that affects the ability of a child with prenatal substance exposure to learn appropriate behaviors.
  • Name three strategies parents can use to teach appropriate behaviors and manage a child’s or teen’s behavioral dysregulation.
  • Name two reasons for the inherent biases related to the inability to change the developmental course of children affected by prenatal substance exposure.
