IJLCD - Communication skills of adolescents with prenatal alcohol exposure

Please let us know what you think of this podcast.Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with growth deficits and neurodevelopmental impairment including foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Difficulties with oral and written communication skills are common among children with PAE; however, less is known about how communication skills of adolescents who have PAE compare with those who do not. Adolescence is a critical time for development, supporting the transition into adulthood, but it is considered a high-risk period for those with FASD.The paper is:Oral and written communication skills of adolescents with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) compared with those with no/low PAE: A systematic reviewAccess the paper here:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1460-6984.12644  Natalie R.
