Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a group of conditions precipitated by prenatal exposure to alcohol. This neurodevelopmental condition can be characterized by a diverse array of impairments including cognitive (e.g., memory), social (e.g., verbal and nonverbal communication), and adaptive functioning (e.g., decision making). Complicating matters, the symptoms of FASD place an individual at risk for adversities across the lifespan such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; e.g., neglect, abuse, and exposure to violence). The experience of trauma from ACEs can result in new neurological deficits or amplify the severity of existing FASD-related symptomatology. As such, the identification of children with FASD is imperative not only to address the symptoms of the disorder but also to help prevent the emergence of any secondary conditions such as exposure to ACEs. Intended for professionals, this 2-hour training is designed to increase recognition of FASD and the consequences of ACEs. Other relevant topics considered include postnatal adversities, executive function, emotion regulation, theory of mind, attachment theory, HPA axis, substance use, self-harm, and sleep problems. The presenter also discusses implications for screening and intervention.
