Speaker: Christie Petrenko, PhD
Research Psychologist
Mt. Hope Family Center, University of Rochester

Dr. Petrenko will introduce fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and define "FASD-informed care" based on current conceptualizations integrating research and clinical wisdom. Most people affected by this condition do not, unfortunately, receive FASD-informed care. Dr. Petrenko will review the research on barriers that interfere with access to care and discuss current research to overcome these barriers. She will also share practical resources available to providers and parents to increase provision of FASD-informed care.
