This workshop is designed to increase understanding of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and other neurobehavioral differences, including developing effective parenting and professional techniques. Individuals with FASD are referred to as having an invisible physical disability, since there are few external physical characteristics of prenatal alcohol exposure.  Often, the only symptoms of the underlying neurological disability are behaviors.  The shift in focus is from the child to the child-in-the-environment; from trying harder using increasing controlling and coercive measures, to trying differently and achieving reductions in secondary behaviors through environmental accommodations.  Participants will learn how to increase effectiveness, reduce frustration, and obtain improved outcomes in working with those with prenatal alcohol exposure.
