Title:
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: Into Action
Co-Op Sponsor:
FASCETS, Inc.
Presenter(s):
Diane V. Malbin, M.S.W.
Description:

Goals:
This training is designed to provide and build on foundational information about FASD, the effects of other drugs on fetal development and the long-term effects of such exposure on children, adolescents and adults. In addition, the range, degree, and variability of effects of prenatal drug exposure are explored. A conceptual foundation is provided to support development of effective strategies and facilitate long-term collaboration. Research findings and concrete, pragmatic examples of effective strategies and improved outcomes for people with FASD are central to this training.

Intro: This three-day training is designed to provide 1) a foundation for understanding neurobehavioral disorders, 2) a framework for developing effective techniques, and 3) support for implementation of these techniques in different settings. Content includes current, research-based information on FASD, a conceptual model for applying a neurocognitive approach, and specifically includes opportunities to develop and plan implementation of strategies. The training format includes lecture, slides, videos, and small and large group exercises. Questions and discussion are encouraged throughout. Handouts and resources are provided.
