Book Synopsis Educating Young Children Prenatally Exposed to Drugs and at Risk by : Shirley A. Jackson
Download or read book Educating Young Children Prenatally Exposed to Drugs and at Risk written by Shirley A. Jackson and published by Department of Education. This book was released on 1993 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents findings of an inquiry into the educational needs of children prenatally exposed to drugs and covers: (1) the extent of the problem, (2) negative effects of prenatal drug exposure on a child's educational potential, (3) typical behaviors and learning deficits of such children, and (4) characteristics of successful early childhood programs for this population. The report also contains profiles of eight programs specifically designed to educate children prenatally exposed to drugs or experiencing psychosocial traumas. Programs are located in the District of Columbia, Los Angeles (California), St. Petersburg (Florida), Tampa (Florida), New York City, Chicago (Illinois) and Palo Alto (California). Highlights of the review of the four study questions include: the number of children prenatally exposed to illicit drugs is increasing; the prevalent use of alcohol and cigarettes poses a greater prenatal threat to a larger number of babies than does any illicit drug; 30-40 percent of prenatally drug exposed children display developmental delays in the absence of effective early intervention; there is no profile of behavior and learning typical of drug-exposed children; educators should focus on identifying and addressing the problem behaviors, not on the causes; and successful programs use developmentally appropriate practice standards and not new instructional methodology especially for drug-exposed children. Recommendations, a list of 32 programmatic or organizational resources, and a glossary complete the report. (Contains approximately 132 references.) (DB)

Book Synopsis Prenatal Cocaine Exposure by : Elizabeth F. Shores
Download or read book Prenatal Cocaine Exposure written by Elizabeth F. Shores and published by Southern Early Childhood Association. This book was released on 1991 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special report provides answers to six fundamental questions on prenatal cocaine exposure: (1) What problems do drug-exposed newborns have? (2) How many of these children are there? (3) How do we get pregnant women to avoid drugs and alcohol? (4) What should be done to help the families of substance abusers? (5) How do drug-exposed children develop? (6) How should schools assess and prepare for drug-exposed children? It is concluded that careful, developmentally appropriate assessment will be crucial if children with prenatal drug exposure are to receive the best services. Further, those services will not be the same for every child. Fetal cocaine exposure does not create a uniform set of delays. The problems it tends to cause can be greatly exacerbated by a poor home life. Evaluation is complicated by the fact that behavior problems and developmental delays which seem to indicate prenatal drug exposure could be the result of other factors, such as divorce or death in the family. Nevertheless, many Southerners are hopeful that drug-exposed children can succeed in regular classrooms if teachers get enough support and training. (RH)
