Essential as a textbook for graduate and upper-level undergraduate studies and as a reference resource, this unique book presents up-to-date research and compelling case studies that illustrate how prenatal exposure to drugs, alcohol, and HIV can affect a child in utero and continue to handicap its development after birth. Each chapter includes discussion threads and review questions to promote critical thinking and clinical problem-solving skills in the classroom.HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children looks at the negative impact a mother's lifestyle practices can have on her developing child with a nod toward the significant prevalence of HIV and substance abuse in today's society.

HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children examines: - the effect of drugs on the brain - pregnancy and drug use trends - common drugs of abuse - Kosakoff's syndrome - fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) among Native Americans and African Americans - neurologic sequellae - speech and language intervention - rehabilitation considerations - treatment and family counseling - and much more HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children is essential for graduate and undergraduate students working with language disorders in special populations.…
