5. Risk is not destiny: Behavioral and Educational Interventions for Children and Teens Affected by Prenatal Substance Exposure

Registration information coming soon!

Children affected by prenatal substance exposure face increasing neurodevelopmental challenges as they grow and develop. These challenges 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 as well as strategies for managing prenatally exposed adolescents’ online risk and behavior.

Learning objectives

At the completion of this session the participant will be able to:

  1. Analyze the impact of prenatal substance exposure on the long-term development of the child and implications for behavior management.

  2. Describe an overall strategy for developing behavioral interventions that support appropriate behavior in children affected by prenatal substance exposure.

  3. Name three key approaches parents can take to protect their child with prenatal substance exposure from inappropriate online activity.
