This session will present and discuss:
• a framework for understanding the brain-based developmental and behavioral difficulties of ADULTS affected by prenatal substance use exposure;
• how this framework can be applied to understanding risk for involvement in the criminal justice system;
• common behaviors seen in adults affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and illicit drugs in the context of court involvement;
• consideration of prenatal substance use and FASD as mitigating factors in adjudication and sentencing.
