The Long-Term Effects of Intrauterine Drug Exposure: Review of Recent Research and Implications for Early Childhood Special Education.

Shriver, Mark D.; Piersel, Wayne

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v14 n2 p161-83 Sum 1994

This article reviews current research on the long-term outcomes of children exposed to alcohol, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and multiple drugs in utero. Differential intervention efforts based primarily on knowledge of a child's intrauterine exposure to drugs were unsupported by available evidence. The use of an ecological model for assessment and intervention is urged. (Author/DB)
