July 18th - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Professional's Knowledge and Confidence. Research has shown that professionals in various professions do not possess adequate knowledge regarding Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and, therefore, often either misdiagnose or miss symptoms completely. Professionals in all different domains in the medical field will learn the necessary criteria for better recognition of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Individuals will also learn other components including prevention, prevalence, treatment, etc to enhance their clinical skills.

August 15th - Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders and Comorbid Psychiatric Conditions across the Lifespan. Autism spectrum disorders are now being recognized as being a major public health concern because of their lifelong persistence. Until recently, there has been little research and attention to associated psychiatric disorders that greatly affect impairment. This presentation will give the participant an opportunity to consider psychiatric comorbid diagnosis when additional symptoms persist. A better understanding will assist in an increase in lifelong functionality if accurately diagnosed and treated.
