Fetal Alcohol Synd
SLD 7
Term | Definition |
---|---|
specific criteria for diagnosis of FAS (Smith & Jones, 1973) | growth retardation, facial anomalies, CNS deficits |
FAS occurs in ____ of _____ live births | 1-3, 1000 |
Alcohol consumption during what trimester of pregnancy leads to worst effects of FAS? | the 1st trimester |
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) include | FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome), ARBD (Alcohol Related Birth Defects, and ARND (Alcohol Related Euro-Developmental Disorder) |
Features of FAS: Growth Retardation | slower rate of growth before and after birth, microcephaly ('small brain,' small head circumference), short stature, small fingers and toes, simian crease |
Features of FAS: Facial Anomalies | slanted/drooping eyes, may be crossed and/or wide-set; flat midface; long, indistinct philtrum; thin upper lip; small chin |
Features of FAS: CNS deficits | mild to moderate reduced IQ, ADD, memory deficits, poor judgment, other behavioral symtoms (e.g., tantrums, hyperactivity, impulsivity)--> seen as underachievers as adults |
Miscellaneous physical/medical features of FAS | reduced muscle tone, failure to thrive, heart and other organ defects, disrupted sleep patterns, seizures, poor coordination, poor fine motor skills |
ARBD includes | kidney defects, heart defects, eye & ear defects, absence of facial anomalies, no cognitive impairments |
ARND includes | CNS dysfunction, behavioral problems, learning problems, absence of facial anomalies |
How does alcohol harm children before birth? | May interfere with growth & development of embryos and fetuses. Interfere with proliferation of nerve cells. May affect development of 2 important neurotransmitter systems |
How alcohol before birth interferes with proliferation of nerve cells (4) | fewer develop, neurons end up in the wrong place, neuronal death, interfere with formation of axons |
FASD Intervention: Friendship training | how to interact with friends, how to enter a group of children already playing together, teach ways to avoid conflict, use of negotiation skills |
FASD Intervention: Executive Functioning Training | behavioral awareness, self control, work to improve memory, reasoning, planning, and problem solving, cause and effect |
FASD Intervention: Parent-Child Interaction Treatment | positive discipline, improve parent-child relationships, reduce behavior problems |
Pre-natal cocaine exposure is characterized by (5) | risk of premature birth, small head circumference, low birth weight, seizures, heart defects |
Pre-natal cocaine exposure associated problems (5) | physiological disorganization, hyper-sensitivity to external stimuli, cognitive impairment possible, developmental and language problems, behavioral difficulties |
Early Intervention: Neurophysiological Reorganization | swaddling, rhythmic patting, returning to midline by vertical rocking |
Difficult to isolate effects of ______ ______ | cocaine exposure |
Prenatal cocaine exposure probably leads to ______ ______ and ______ ______ | cognitive deficits, learning disabilities |
should consider __________ _______ in conjunction with cocaine exposure | environmental factors |
