Presentation content will include guiding theoretical models, data on challenges families experience, findings from FMF intervention trials, and practical discussion of FASD-informed care and up to date dissemination of empirically-validated treatments. Intriguing case studies from a practicing FMF Specialist will also be presented. Learning Objectives: 1. Evaluate the most common unmet needs of caregivers of preschool and school-aged children with FASD, and systems-level barriers experienced by these families 2. Analyze theoretical models underlying parent training and family support programs for FASD 3. Synthesize current evidence supporting the efficacy of the FMF Program. 4. Explore how to apply evidence from research studies on FMF to carry out FASD-informed care, and increase dissemination and uptake of empiricallyvalidated treatments
