A key research finding is that (a) children with ID are more likely to exhibit internalising and externalising behaviour problems in comparison with typically developing children, and (b) in the absence of
significant child behaviour problems, parents of children with ID do not, on average, report heightened levels of distress [4 •, 16, 27, 28].

child outcomes when either parent was incarcerated found a
significant association with antisocial
behaviour (pooled OR = 1.6, 95 % CI 1.4 to 1.9) and poor educational performance (pooled OR = 1.4, 95 % CI 1.1 to 1.8).18 Other research indicates that
children of incarcerated mothers are at risk of increased criminal involvement, mental health issues, physical health
problems, behavioural
problems, 19
child protection contact20 and poorer educational outcomes.21
A confluence of research has identified executive functioning deficits as a common characteristic of individuals with FASD.9 15 — 27 Damage to neurological structures, including the prefrontal regions of the brain, is a
significant hypothesised cause for these deficits.28 29 Executive functions are defined as a set of cognitive processes responsible for orchestrating purposeful, goal - directed
behaviour.15 30 31 These processes are responsible for the ability to plan, organise, attend,
problem solve and inhibit responses.31 It is also suggested that the ability to self - regulate emotional responses and behavioural actions is interrelated with the construct of executive functioning.17 28 32 Deficits in executive functioning and self - regulation can lead to learning and behavioural
problems that impact a
child's educational outcomes as they struggle to cope with the complex demands of school life.16 20

children are more likely to be socially withdrawn and experience negative interactions with their peers.9, 12 Additionally, neglected

children.7 Similar to adults with a history of physical abuse, adults with a history of neglect are at increased risk for violent criminal
behaviour.13

Children who have disorganized attachment with their primary attachment figure have been shown to be vulnerable to stress, have problems with regulation and control of negative emotions, and display oppositional, hostile - aggressive behaviours, and coercive styles of interaction.2, 3 They may exhibit low self - esteem, internalizing and externalizing problems in the early school years, poor peer interactions, unusual or bizarre behaviour in the classroom, high teacher ratings of dissociative behaviour and internalizing symptoms in middle childhood, high levels of teacher - rated social and behavioural difficulties in class, low mathematics attainment, and impaired formal operational skills.3 They may show high levels of overall psychopathology at 17 years.3 Disorganized attachment with a primary attachment figure is over-represented in groups of children with clinical problems and those who are victims of maltreatment.1, 2,3 A majority of children with early disorganized attachment with their primary attachment figure during infancy go on to develop significant social and emotional maladjustment and psychopathology.3, 4 Thus, an attachment - based intervention should focus on preventing and / or reducing disorganized att
