Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with early motor, but not language development in a South African cohort.
CONCLUSION: PAE has potentially important consequences for motor development in the first 2 years of life, a period during which the most rapid growth and maturation occurs. These findings highlight the importance of identifying high-risk families in order to provide preventive interventions, particularly in antenatal clinics and early intervention services.
