Presented by Ira J. Chasnoff, MD
Treatment for individuals with prenatal substance exposure must be grounded in an appreciation of the neurodevelopmental deficits that drive the child’s behavioral difficulties. This program will address the evidence-based treatment approaches that appear to improve the developmental trajectory for individuals with prenatal substance exposure. The treatment strategies will be grounded in interventions that consider the three basic domains of functioning affected by prenatal substance exposure – neurocognitive, self-regulation, adaptive – and present evidence-based treatment interventions that have proven effective.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
Integrate findings across three domains of functioning – neurocognitive, self-regulation, adaptive – and develop a treatment plan based on these findings.
Guide families in managing their children’s regulatory behavior difficulties.
Describe evidence-based treatment interventions for children and youth affected by prenatal substance exposure.
