Children with prenatal alcohol exposure exhibit a wide range of abilities across all body systems. When specific growth, facial, and central nervous system impairments are present within a well-specified range, a diagnosis fromwithin the continuum of FASD can be rendered. Because the development and use of language have been reported to be affected by high levels of prenatal alcohol exposure, measurement of language ability has been an important feature of interdisciplinary assessment of these individuals. The preponderance of evidence regarding language behavior in children with an FASD has been gathered using standardized, norm-referenced tests. The goal of these studies has been to establish how well children with an FASD comprehend and/or produce language structures in standardized contexts.Läs mer >>>
