DESCRIPTION:From Florida to the world — The Florida Center Training Institute brings FASD support everywhere.\nEmpowering caregivers and professionals globally with tools that make a difference.\nNo matter where you are\, you belong here. \nOf all substances of abuse\, alcohol causes the most serious long-term effects in a fetus\, resulting in permanent brain damage. Many children with FASDs often go undiagnosed and suffer lifelong social challenges\, serious mental health problems\, and involvement with the juvenile justice system. Proper identification and intervention can help prevent many of these challenges.This webinar will help attendees identify red flags and signs that may indicate a child has brain-based behaviors as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure. Additionally\, it will also help shift one’s perspective\, viewing social/emotional problems\, difficult behaviors\, and learning challenges of these individuals as a symptom of brain dysfunction and not willful defiance and opposition. \nLearning Objectives include: \n\nLearn what FASD is and how it is often misdiagnosed.\nLearn how FASD impacts brain development and behaviors.\nLearn to identify FASD red-flags.\nGain a shift in perspective about those with social/emotional problems\, difficult behaviors\, or learning challenges.\n\nPresenters are: \nTamra Cajo\, LCSW\, Statewide Director of FASD Services \nTamra Cajo\, LCSW\, is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of experience in early childhood development and prevention.
