Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Children whom are prenatally exposed to illicit drugs are greatly affected at birth. The birth defects portrayed by the media in the 1980 were incorrect and over exaggerated. The research surrounding the birth of children born exposed to illicit drugs is discussed. Further behavioral implications of children between age four through the teenage years presents further data. Long-term child studies focus on the behavioral data found as well as the environment in which the child is brought up with. The environment in which the child is raised has significant effects on the behavior in the classroom throughout the life of the child. To exclude environmental data, which is part of long-term behavioral data within the home, animal models were studied to evaluate conditioning abilities and social play between animals. Implications for teaching were then determined based off research and behavioral techniques that are best practice for children diagnosed with ADHD. Best teaching practices include behavior modeling to show ability to self-regulate behaviors."--leaf 4.
