FASD: A Resource Guide

FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) is a condition caused when a developing baby is exposed to alcohol during pregnancy. This exposure can lead to lifelong physical, behavioral, and learning challenges. People with FASD might have difficulty with memory, attention, decision-making, and sometimes experience physical differences or health issues. It’s a spectrum, meaning the severity varies from person to person. FASD is preventable by avoiding alcohol during pregnancy. The resource guide provides information on recognition, challenges, support strategies, and treatment options to help individuals with FASD lead healthy and meaningful lives.
