Introductory
The Mystery of Risk: Understanding the Drug-Exposed Child and Issues of Attachment Children prenatally exposed to maternal substances of abuse make up an ever-growing portion of the United States' population of children. The most recent data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse suggest that over 1 million children per year are exposed to alcohol and illicit substances during gestation. The health consequences for these children are enormous, but the implications for behavior, learning, and attachment are even greater. This session will explore the biological and environmental factors that impact the ultimate development and behavior of alcohol- and drug-exposed children. The information will form the basis for the formulation of treatment strategies and approaches. At the completion of this session, participants will be able to: 1) List five complications for the newborn related to maternal drug and alcohol use;
2) Name the three diagnostic criteria of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; and,
3) Analyze the cognitive and behavioral development of children prenatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs, especially as related to attachment. 11:45AM - 1:00 PM Lunch Break *A list of Restaurants will be provided. Breakout Session #1 1:00 PM - 4:00 Ira Chasnoff, M.D. Intro. 3 CE Credits The Mystery of Risk: Treatment Strategies for the
Drug-Exposed Child Children prenatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs present with multiple risk factors, making the development of a treatment plan quite difficult. This workshop will present the core components of a model of treatment that parents and professionals should consider when addressing the needs of the substance exposed child. The workshop will explore evidence-based therapies that have been shown to work as well as provide attendees with strategies they can use in the home and the school. At the completion of this session, participants will be able to: 1) Describe the important components of treatment that should be addressed for substance exposed children;
2) Discuss neurocognitive functioning as related to treatment strategies; and,
3) Utilize an interactive behavior management system for children with prenatal substance exposure. Breakout Session #2 1:00 PM - 4:00 Juli Alvarado, LPC, NCC, Lori Thomas & Janice Goldwater, LCSW-C No CE’s We Are Your Partners, We Hear Your Cry Lunch Break Parenting a child with prenatal exposures can be very challenging even for the most seasoned of parents. The first step is to develop an un-derstanding of the physiological effects of exposure on the brain/body to translate why children act the way they do. With this under-standing we will provide a relationship based model to help parents with strategies that enhance attachment and deepen effective parenting. This portion of the workshop will be experiential and provide both practical strategies as well as insight oriented activities. Agenda (CONTINUED) At the completion of this session, participants will be able to: 1) Utilize three key strategies at home for relating to and motivating a child;
2) Utilize three key strategies for staying emotionally regulated while parenting; and,
3) Establish connections to a supportive network. About Dr. Chasnoff Ira Chasnoff, MD, serves as the Presi-dent of the Children's Research Triangle, and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medi-cine in Chicago. Expertise:
Participants will come away with a new understanding of the effects of drugs and alcohol on the developing brain and its relationship to behaviors exhibited by children. In addition, participants will gain tools to use at home, in therapy and at school to remediate behaviors that are caused by pre-natal exposure. Dr. Chasnoff is one of the na-tion's leading researchers in the field of maternal drug use during pregnancy and its effects on the newborn infant and child. He is the author of five books and numerous articles on the effects of drug use on pregnancy, and on the long-term cognitive, behavioral, and learning out-comes of prenatally exposed children.
