Abstract
Associations of prenatal alcohol exposure in speech, language, behavio ral, and intellectual development were investigated in three school-ag ed children diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, accompanied by Atte ntion Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Each child showed similar patter ns of moderate-to-severe dysfunctional behavior; however, their scores on speech, language and nonverbal intellectual measures were highly v ariable.
