WARREN- by Haley Bull Each day, dozens of students fill the hallways of Warren Elementary School, including Annie Stanley, 10.
Monday, she practiced reading and spelling, made more difficult by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. "I just growed up and that's what I gotted, in my brain," Annie said. The disability is 100 percent preventable, caused by alcohol use during pregnancy. "It's gonna be a battle her whole life, so it's something that is not curable and we just have to deal with it," Cherie Stanley, Annie's adoptive mother, said. The Stanley's deal with the permanent effects of the disability each day. "It makes me sad. Annie will never be able to live alone. "There's a plethora of facts I could read that would just make you wanna cry. She's fighting by speaking out. In September, Stanley organized a walk that raised nearly $1,000 for the Texas Office for the Prevention of Developmental Disabilities.

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and the BRAIN©2000 Teresa Kellerman (updated 2010) The regions of the brain that are most seriously affected by prenatal alcohol exposure in terms of ability to function are: Frontal Lobes - this area controls impulses and judgment.
The most noteworthy damage to the brain probably occurs in the prefrontal cortex, which controls what are called the Executive Functions. Corpus Callosum - passes information from the left brain (rules, logic) to the right brain (impulse, feelings) and vice versa. The Corpus Callosum in an individual with FAS/ARND might be smaller than normal, and in some cases it is almost nonexistent. Hippocampus - plays a fundamental role in memory, learning, and emotion. Hypothalamus - controls appetite, emotions, temperature, and pain sensation Cerebellum - controls coordination and movement, behavior and memory. Children do not need to have full FAS to have significant difficulties due to prenatal exposure to alcohol. Information on Behavioral Problems in Children with FAS and Special Ed Strategies to Cope. Strategies for Special Education Teachers Because children with fetal alcohol syndrome may experience developmental delays, they may qualify for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and special education services.
Special education teachers can use different strategies to help with the behavioral problems caused by this disease. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration suggests the “eight magic keys,” which help when working with students with fetal alcohol syndrome. These strategies include using concrete terms, being consistent with language and environment, using repetition to help with short-term memory problems, establishing a routine, preventing overstimulation by using simplicity, being specific, and using structure and supervision.
To monitor and change certain behaviors, teachers may want to use a Daily Behavior Report Card. Different therapies outside of the classroom may also help with the behavior problems. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Alcoholism and the Brain: An Overview. Alcoholism can affect the brain and behavior in a variety of ways, and multiple factors can influence these effects.
A person’s susceptibility to alcoholism–related brain damage may be associated with his or her age, gender, drinking history, and nutrition, as well as with the vulnerability of specific brain regions. Investigators use a variety of methods to study alcoholism–related brain damage, including examining brains of deceased patients as well as neuroimaging, a technique that enables researchers to test and observe the living brain and to evaluate structural damage in the brain. Key words: neurobehavioral theory of AODU (alcohol and other drug use); alcoholic brain syndrome; brain atrophy; neuropsychological assessment; neurotransmission; risk factors; comorbidity; disease susceptibility; neuroimaging; treatment factors; survey of research The brain, like most body organs, is vulnerable to injury from alcohol consumption. Models Based on Characteristics of Individual Alcoholics.
