Early development often falls into the normal range for young children with a history of prenatal substance exposure. However, regulatory difficulties have significant implications for long term development, learning and behavior. This session will present a framework for understanding the brain-based developmental and behavioral difficulties of children and teens affected by prenatal substance exposure and discuss how this framework can be applied to developing appropriate interventions and treatment.
