E6 - Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Social Behavior Function: Challenges Associated with Navigating the Social World with FASD Katrina Kully-Martens, Sabrina Agnihotri, Parker J. Holman Researchers from three different clinical backgrounds (psychology, medicine, neuro science) have worked together from pre-clinical, animal and clinical human research to examine the complex effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on social behavioral functioning. Using insights from animal models and clinical research, this workshop will focus on social neurobehavioral development within the context of FASD, adolescence, resilience, and mental health, with the ultimate goal of identifying potential avenues for intervention. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the profile of social behavioral strengths and deficits characteristic of individuals with FASD, the neurobehavioral underpinnings of these difficulties, and how fostering social competence may relate to resilience and mental health 2. Gain an understanding of how animal research may inform the neurobiological basis of functional dysregulation observed in individuals with FASD 3. Discuss the importance of integrating findings from multiple research domains into a unified framework for understanding the interactive and complex effects of prenatal alcohol exposure
