Grandmother is K.I.N.D.E.Rx.

Mothers who drink alcohol, do drugs, or smoke cigarettes during their pregnancy are putting their children at risk for a number of health problems, including attention deficit disorder, developmental delays, growth problems, speech delay and organ disease. Dr. Maria Ferris saw a need in the Houston community for a clinic that treated children of mothers who abused substances during pregnancy.
