Dr. Ira Chasnoff will discuss strategies that can support children with behavioral and learning difficulties both at home and at school.
Children prenatally exposed to alcohol and drugs face increasing neurodevelopmental challenges as they grow and develop. These challenges translate into behavioral and learning difficulties in the classroom and in the home. This session will provide a conceptual framework for understanding these difficulties from a regulatory perspective and discuss how this framework can be applied to the development of behavioral and educational interventions in the classroom and at home.
Ira J. Chasnoff, M.D., an award-winning author, researcher and lecturer, is president of NTI Upstream and a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago. He is one of the nation’s leading researchers in the field of child development and the effects of environmental factors on the developmental trajectory of children and adolescents.
