Six-week fetal alcohol course offered
By Journal staff Tuesday, October 23, 2007


Behavior Management Systems will offer a six-week group series designed especially for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder children ages 5 through 11, their birth, foster or adoptive parents and those who suspect their child may have alcohol-related prenatal brain damage.

The course will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 25 through Oct. 30, at the Behavior Management Systems office, 350 Elk St. The series will be divided into a children’s group and the parenting team. Teri Murray, a former member of the South Dakota FASD Task Force, and Nora Boesem, an adoptive mother of six FASD children, will facilitate the parents’ group in education, supportive discussions and training. The children’s group, led by Janet Kuske and Julie Babbe, will work on developmental and behavioral issues.
