Practical and comprehensive, Children With Prenatal Drug Exposure explores a full range of provoking topics, including:
- neurological effects and sensory motor delays caused by cocaine exposure
- foster care and its impact on motor development
- adolescent pregnancy and the complications of prenatal substance abuse
- ethical dilemmas
- multidimensional measurement systems and longitudinal research
The book’s authors believe that in order to meet the needs of children who have been prenatally exposed to drugs, care providers must know the limitations associated with the process and methodology of assessment and learn to address the shortcomings of evaluation. With this in mind, this book aims to equip psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, researchers, and physicians with the “know-how” they require for optimizing their health care services and contributing valuable research that the field so urgently needs.
