Abstract	This practicum focused on the improvement of parent/caregiver relationships with approximately 65 children (ages birth through age 3) prenatally exposed to drugs or alcohol. The project utilized six Infant Development Instructors and local health support services. The 8-month program implementation involved Infant Development Instructor training, dissemination of information regarding available services to caregivers, pre-assessment and post-assessment of child/caregiver involvement, and implementation of a caregiver support group. Results indicated increased access by caregivers to more services; observed improvement in 3 of 11 desirable behaviors; and substantial improvement in the amount, quality, and appropriateness of these behaviors. The Infant Development Instructors showed substantial improvement in attitude, and caregiver attendance at the two support group locations remained consistent throughout the 8-month period. Extensive appendices include documentation of increased numbers of substance-exposed infants; the attitude survey of Infant Development Instructors; the parent/caregiver questionnaire on local available services; suggestions for Infant Development Instructors' home visitations; an infant developmental intake checklist; a list of curriculum model programs; and an agency referral guide.
