Causes of Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder During Pregnancy

Causes of Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder During Pregnancy: "This report is the result of a 1997 Graduate Student Research Project conducted through the Special Education Department at the University of South Florida.�� The project involved extensive research of published peer reviewed medical journal articles which have shown environmental and chemical exposure factors can cause damage to the delicate brain growth processes in the unborn child during pregnancy, thereby demonstrating potential to cause Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Hyperactivity and other child behavior anomalies.� This report generates serious concern as public exposure to identified chemical sources continues to grow due to increased use in homes, jobs and consumer products.
The impact of the resulting decreased quality of offspring upon the families,
schools and society is discussed."
