Trying Differently Rather Than Harder by Diane Malbin MSW, provides a readable narrative discussion of the neurobehavioral approach for working effectively with children, adolescents, and adults with FASD. After a brief review of the diagnosis- understanding the brain injury of prenatal alcohol exposure- the author explores the most common neurobehavioral symptoms by providing case examples, FASD-informed interventions, which result in improved outcomes.

75% of children with an FASD have an attention problem and may be diagnosed with ADHD without considering other diagnoses. Attention deficits in children with an FASD without ADHD may derive from deficiencies in executive functioning skills, short-term memory, the ability to shift attention, slower processing speed. Medications for ADHD may worsen attention deficits in children with FASD.
