The Collaborative Initiative on FASD: New Findings on Screening
Edward Riley
Screening the Face for the Effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
Peter Hammond
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how facial evaluation contributes to clinical evaluation in a FASD clinic
2. Understand how screening of 3D face shape might be effective in the clinical situation
Brain Imaging and Connectivity, an Adjunct to Screening
Jeffrey Wozniak
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain the limitations of current screening methodologies for FASD and explain the potential role of brain imaging in moving screening/diagnostic methods forward
2. Demonstrate an understanding of how functional connectivity metrics reflect underlying global abnormalities in information processing and how these are related to prenatal alcohol exposure
The Use of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Differentiate Alcohol-Related
Neurodevelopmental Impairment during a Task Eliciting Emotional Frustration
Julie Kable
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how prefrontal cortical activity can be assessed using functional near infrared spectroscopy
2. Understand the ways in which prefrontal cortical activity is altered in children with a history of prenatal alcohol exposure relative to typically developing children and relative to children with other clinical problems and no history of prenatal alcohol exposure
