Thousands of children exposed prenatally to drugs are now of school age, presenting schools and educators as well as social service agencies with enormous challenges. This book provides information from education, medical, public health, and social service experts on the degree of damage these children have sustained, whether that damage will be long-term, and what interventions can help them grow into healthy, contributing citizens. It includes research findings, model school and clinic-based programs, and an agenda for action.
