Dr. Chasnoff will take participants on a journey beginning with maternal alcohol and drug use in pregnancy through the outcomes of this use on the growing child. Participants will explore the outcomes of drug use during pregnancy, including the physical and biological factors and the neurobiology of attachment. Some time will be spent reviewing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The focus of the presentation will be on prenatal alcohol and drug exposure on the growing child and its implications for behavioral and mental health treatment. Dr. Chasnoff will discuss assessment tools, treatment planning, and interventions to promote learning and positive outcomes in children affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol or illicit drugs. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on the ethics of prevention and early intervention and an approach to developing a comprehensive system of care grounded in screening, assessment, and treatment.

Ira Chasnoff, MD, an award-winning author, researcher and lecturer, is president of NTI Upstream and a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago. He is one of the nation’s leading researchers in the field of child development and the effects of maternal alcohol and drug use on the newborn, infant, and child. In addition, Dr. Chasnoff directed one of five national sites conducting research into the integration of behavioral health interventions into primary health care services for high-risk children and their families, and through this project studied the impact of concurrent planning on permanency placement for children in the foster care system.
Dr. Chasnoff’s most recent work focuses on community approaches to the integration of behavioral health services into primary health care for women and children and the occurrence of co-occurring mental health disorders in children who have been exposed to alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, and other drugs. As an extension of these efforts, Dr. Chasnoff is working with communities and States to develop integrated systems of prevention and care for children and families in the child welfare system affected by substance abuse.
He is the author of numerous articles on the effects of alcohol and other drug use on pregnancy and on the long-term cognitive, behavioral, and learning outcomes of prenatally exposed children. Dr. Chasnoff has authored seven books, his most recent book, The Mystery of Risk, has received numerous awards. It explores the biological and environmental factors that impact the ultimate development of alcohol and drug-exposed children and presents practical strategies for helping children reach their full potential at home and in the classroom.
