2012 Webinar #6 DVD Video: Cause & Consequence: Eight Steps to Managing a Child's Difficult Behavior
Many studies emphasize the association between FASD and significant behavioral problems in the affected child. Areas of the brain vital to the neurocognitive process of executive functioning, self-regulation, and adaptive behaviors are particularly vulnerable to the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure, which may disrupt neuronal pathways associated with arousal and behavior regulation. Unfortunately, many families, especially those living in the rural areas of the country, do not have access to behavioral management guidance. This webinar will discuss an eight-step problem-solving approach to managing behavioral problems in children with FASD, anchored in an interactive on-line behavior management system. The system has the potential for making guided interventions and behavioral management strategies available to programs serving children with FASD and families who are raising a child with FAS/ARND but who do not have ongoing access to care or trained professionals.
