SenseCam as an everyday memory rehabilitation tool for youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder

Published: 18 November 2013 Publication History

Abstract

Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often demonstrate deficits in everyday memory (EM), which negatively impacts their recollection of recent experiences and the development of appropriate social skills. There is currently a lack of interventions focused on improving EM for these youth. Here we describe a study that will empirically validate a pilot SenseCam intervention as a classroom tool for improving EM and social skills for children with FASD. By facilitating EM recollection, such a technique has the potential to foster a pathway for children with FASD to improved social integration and quality of life.
