T47: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: Theory, Parent Challenges and a Functional Model of<br />

Diagnosis and Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders (continued as T57)<br />

Paula J. Lockhart, MD, Ana Maciel, MD, LCPC & Diane L. Seager, Parent Advocate<br />

3 hours Focus: Clinical Integrated Interventions<br />

Description: This workshop explores Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), one of the most common<br />

causes of preventable cognitive disability. The history, epidemiology, basic science, clinical aspects and real<br />

life history of a family coping with this very poorly understood developmental disability is presented. The<br />

presenters describe a model of diagnosis and treatment that functionally analyzes a person’s strengths and<br />

areas of impairment by connecting disciplines that traditionally work separately, integrating mental health with<br />

other disciplines to devise comprehensive and optimal treatment plans for persons with this co-occurring<br />

disorder.<br />

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:<br />

• Describe the physical, behavioral and cognitive features of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders;<br />

• Identify persons in your programs that may have FASD;<br />

• Develop a diagnostic and treatment program that supports families with a child or children with FASD.<br />
