other analyses and samples, prenatal alcohol use is more directly correlated with physical effects on children (May et al., 2011) than its effect on neurobehavior. The effect of prenatal drinking on neurobehavior is filtered through multiple environmental conditions in the child’s formative years such as: maternal education, maternal health, and cognitive stimulation which are often mediated by socioeconomic conditions (May et al., 2013b). With good postnatal conditions the brain development of a child with FASD can improve in areas such as verbal acuity and ability to focus attention as is demonstrated in this paper.
