Temple, Valerie K.; Prasad, Sonal; Popova, Svetlana; Lindsay, Ann – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2021
Background: Early diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is known to improve outcomes in children. It is less clear if diagnosis in adulthood also conveys benefits. This study investigated long-term outcomes for individuals diagnosed with FASD after 18 years of age. Method: Twenty adults aged 18-45 years at FASD diagnosis were…

Purpose: To date, research on effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has focused on a broad range of cognitive impairments, but relatively few studies have examined effects of PAE on development of reading skills. Although PAE has been linked to poorer reading comprehension, it remains unclear whether this impairment is attributable to…

On Neoliberal Thirst, Audit Hunger, and Sustaining Strengths-Based Research in Community and Academy
Stewart, Michelle; Caines, Rebecca; Kotlar-Livingston, Andrea – Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2020
This article begins with an explanation of questions of neoliberalism in academia in an era of audit culture; the markers of successful academic projects (such as publication outputs) are challenged. Barriers to and dissemination of Community-Based Participatory Arts and Research (CBPAR) are discussed, such as the discrepancy between the lived…

Three of the most prevalent developmental disorders (DDs) are autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). As part of a study screening for DDs in Greater Manchester, UK, a unique opportunity was taken to explore parents' experiences of receiving reports about their…

Griffin, Megan M.; Copeland, Susan R.; Maez, Rolanda – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is characterized by impulsivity and deficits in executive functioning. Given this, individuals with FASD might particularly benefit from interventions that teach them to manage their own behavior in a more adaptive manner. Using a reversal (ABAB) design, the current study investigated the effects of a…

Dana Kamara; Theodore P. Beauchaine – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Sleep problems are common among children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). We review sleep disturbance in three major NDDs: autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). We review associations with functional impairment, discuss how patterns of sleep disturbance inform understanding of etiology, and…

Background: People with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and women who drink alcohol while pregnant can experience stigma, possibly exacerbated by stereotyped media portrayals. Method: To understand experiences of FASD stakeholders and reactions to news coverage, we conducted twelve focus groups across three categories: (1) people with FASD;…

The prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) may be underestimated as it can be difficult to diagnose in early childhood possibly reflecting unique developmental trajectories relative to other Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDDs). Using data collected via the Early Development Instrument (EDI) between 2010 and 2015, we examined the…
