Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: Brain Development and Learning
2019-08-15 12:00 - 15:00 | pin Marion County Sheriff’s Office – Jail Admin/Visitation Building
Each year in the U.S. between 35,000 and 40,000 babies are born with a fetal alcohol-related disorder. Most individuals with FASD are never diagnosed. Problems related to prenatal alcohol exposure can include language, motor and cognitive delays which can include facial abnormalities, heart defects, and vision and hearing problems.
The quality of life for individuals with FASD and their families can be drastically improved when appropriate interventions, services and support are initiated at a young age. Some problems associated with FASD tend to intensify as children become adults and interventions become more challenging to implement. The good news is that FASD is 100% preventable.
Please join us to explore prevention, early intervention and long term treatment interventions for individuals affected by FASD. Participants will be able to distinguish between FASD and FAS; participants will be able to identify the three characteristics of FAS; participants will identify three cognitive deficits that are typical for a child with prenatal alcohol exposure with guest speaker: Tamra Cajo.

Join us for a viewing of “Lost Springs,” which follows the inimitable artist Margaret Ross Tolbert as she experiences the magic and beauty of a series of freshwater Florida springs forgotten by the state and left to decay behind a nearly 50-year-old failure of big government spending. Every three or more years, the water behind the Kirkpatrick Dam in north-central Florida is lowered, exposing an environment that is still raw with both tragedy and hope. The film explores themes of loss, wonder and experience in nature as Tolbert joins local and regional experts on a boat trip up the long-fabled Ocklawaha River to witness this newly-revealed, transient landscape and to find the lost springs of the Ocklawaha.
Free for Appleton members; included with admission fee for nonmembers. A brief introduction will be made by the artist.
