Stewart McDougall, 'Interventions for children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders'

Description

This presentation discusses a study examining the existing literature on interviews for children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD). Importantly to the child protection context, FASD is likely to be over-represented and can have important implications for family support. This study identified a number of behavioural and parenting interventions that show potential to support children across a range of important domains including social relationships, self-regulation, metacognition and educational attainment. Taken together, these studies indicate several common behavioural and skill development strategies that are applicable across a range of settings to support the development of young people affected by alcohol and other substances prenatally.
