Specialized Neurodevelopmental Assessment and Consultation Service (SNACS)

Some children struggle with learning, behavior or development because of exposure to alcohol or other substances before they were born (prenatal exposures). The SNACS clinic offers 3 to 5 visits with a provider who specializes in evaluating and creating a care plan for children with these concerns. Our providers:

  • Evaluate your child for problems they may face with attention, learning, memory, behavior, social skills and other areas of development.

  • Help you understand your child’s diagnosis and development, including finding out if your child has a diagnosis related to prenatal exposures, such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

  • Talk with you about your family’s challenges and the services you and your child need.

  • Help figure out how to get services at school or in the community.

  • Suggest ways to work with your child at home to help prevent problem behaviors.
