Many studies emphasize the association between FASD and sign ificant behavioral problems in the affected child. Areas of the brain vita l to the neurocognitive process of executive functioning\, self-regulation \, and adaptive behaviors are particularly vulnerable to the effects of pr enatal alcohol exposure\, which may disrupt neuronal pathways associated w ith arousal and behavior regulation. Unfortunately\, many families\, espec ially 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 m anagement 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.
