FASD: The Real Deal, Imitators, & What Lies Ahead - July 29, 2010 - 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

This workshop covers risks and trends in prenatal alcohol use and the latest tools and guidelines to clinically diagnose various types of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Clues to look for that separate these diagnoses from disorders that mimic FASD; an overview of recent research on the developmental trajectory of the varying forms of FASD; and thoughts on outcomes for children and families will be discussed.

This workshop provides a detailed description and rationalization of several practical, evidence-based intervention practices aimed at improving the lives of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in school, home, and healthcare environments. A case will be made that coordinating these efforts can lead to even better outcomes in all settings, and attendees will learn strategies to facilitate a successful coordinated intervention model for FASD.
