(3 hours) 1:00 - 4:00PM

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.
