Risk is not destiny: Behavioral and educational interventions for children and teens affected by prenatal substance exposure
Early development often falls into the normal range for young children with a history of prenatal substance exposure. However, regulatory difficulties in these infants and toddlers have significant implications for long term development and translate into behavioral difficulties in the classroom and in the home. This session will translate the conceptual framework for understanding the behavior and learning difficulties of children with prenatal substance exposure from a regulatory perspective and discuss how this framework can be applied to the development of behavioral and educational interventions.
