This puts your baby at risk of a serious condition called fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which is a group of birth defects. These defects are irreversible and can include physical, mental and behavioral problems. If you suspect that your child has FAS, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis reduces the risk of problems in life associated with FAS, including troubles at school, with substance abuse and with the law. If your child has FAS, your doctor can help you locate special school and community services designed to help your child succeed.
Extractions: It was January 1973. I was in shock. I had just finished administering a psychological examination to the seventh young child in the group that Jones and Smith, my dysmorphology colleagues (physicians with expertise in congenital malformations), had asked me to see. Although the seven children represented three racial groups and were not themselves related, they looked eerily alike: small, sparkly eyes; small heads; and an appearance about the mouth that appeared as though they were pursing their lips even when they weren't smiling. Except for the two who were still infants and the one who was so flaccid she was carried in the arms of her mother, the other children had a wispy, flighty quality. I thought to myself that these children who were so curiously and surprisingly unafraid of me were like butterflies. These children clearly had brain damage. To an experienced clinician, their neurological insults were as obvious as the aftereffects of meningitis or encephalitis. Each of these children had experienced damage to his or her central nervous system (CNS) that was apparent in his or her erratic movements, poor coordination, flighty attentional states, and poor performance on psychological tests, despite a captivatingly alert and bright-eyed manner.

Extractions: ST. LOUIS Some health care professionals believe that women who are pregnant can enjoy an occasional glass of wine with no ill effects to their unborn babies. They're mistaken, and an awareness campaign spearheaded by Saint Louis University is about to tell them so, says Mark Mengel, M.D., MPH, chair of community and family medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. "In one study, researchers looked at the behavior of children whose mothers drank alcohol when they were pregnant, and found that even small amounts of drinking during pregnancy was associated with higher levels of aggressive and delinquent behavior in their offspring at age 6," Dr. Mengel says. "Another study showed there were perceptible differences in the heights of children at age 14 whose mothers drank even a small amount of alcohol; their offspring were smaller. There is no safe level you can drink during pregnancy, so the Midwestern Regional FAS Training Center will offer continuing education to doctors, therapists, nurses and other health professionals to address this problem." The University of Missouri-Columbia, Missouri Institutes of Mental Health and the St. Louis Association of Retarded Citizens are collaborating with Saint Louis University on the Midwestern Regional FAS Training Center. The center serves six states and is funded by a $797,000 grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Extractions: As an adoptive parent of a young son with FAS, I have come to greatly appreciate stories from other parents of disabled children that describe triumphs, successes or humor with their special child. Humor is especially important. So, I have decided to use this section to share stories of humor and accomplishments we have witnessed with Seth. I will update this page on a monthly basis and I encourage other parents to send their stories as well, so we can all share in our children's growth. FUNNY STORY #1 We are having to spell words at times when we do not want Seth to understand what we are talking about, as many things increase his anxiety. This morning the bus garage called to say they could transport Seth home in 1 1/2 hours instead of 2 (the original plan). I said to my husband, "I hope that doesn't mean they will just be driving F-A-S-T". Seth then responds, "My bus driver doesn't drive fast mom, but sometimes daddy does"!

Extractions: A diagnostic evaluation is a starting point for understanding, treating, and managing any medical condition. After 2 decades of research and clinical observations, it still is difficult to find professionals that specialize in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and/or Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). The everyday behaviors of children with FAS/FAE can be unexpected, perplexing, and even unusual. Yet, because these particular behaviors havent been clearly linked to structural anomalies in the brain and because they have not yet been described in the authoritative listing of mental disorders (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), American Psychiatric Association (APA), 1994), many professionals dont fully understand the syndrome or its complications.

Extractions: E-mail Us Fetal Alcohol Syndrome About the Course Fetal alcohol exposure is common. As many as 20% of women use alcohol during pregnancy. Three to four percent of children are exposed to potentially teratogenic doses of alcohol. Providers who care for women have the opportunity to prevent exposure by identifying and treating women who drink above recommended limits. This course is designed to teach primary care providers how to use Identification of At-Risk Drinking and Intervention with Women of Childbearing Age, a guide for clinicians who work with women, published by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). After you register for this course, you will be sent a copy of the guide. Target Population/Intended Audience Clinicians who care for women such as: obstetricians, family physicians, internists, advanced-practice nurses, physician assistants, counselors, and social workers. Objective/Goal The objective of this training program is to teach clinicians who treat women how to use the protocols contained in the guide in their busy practice settings. The overall goal is to increase clinician detection and treatment of women of childbearing age who are adversely affected by alcohol before they become pregnant, and to minimize fetal damage in at-risk women who are pregnant.

Many of the strategies are general and may be appropriate for use with students who are not diagnosed with FAS/E, but who do share some of the learning needs of students with FAS/E. This resource guide is organized around areas of concern identified by experienced classroom and integration support teachers. Its goal is to provide teachers with a clear understanding of the needs of students with FAS/E by: defining Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), describing the common learning and behavioural characteristics of Children with FAS/E, and suggesting strategies that may be helpful in meeting the challenges these children present in the classroom.

Extractions: Where would I find some information about teaching strategies for children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) or children with problems due to prenatal substance exposure? Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is an organic brain disorder caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. The affected person may have: One of the most debilitating characteristics of FAS and FAE is the poor ability to adapt to demands of surroundings. Educational experiences should make students as independent as possible, both now and in the future, with the outcome being adults functioning as fully as they are able. For some children, "functional" may mean following traditional academic curricula. Many students are fairly accomplished in academic subjects. To be independent, they also may need to learn to ride buses, prepare meals, use money appropriately, and not only perform a job, but use the social skills necessary to keep it. Educational goals and objectives should go beyond classroom boundaries and target skills to be used not only at school, but in homes and communities as successful, productive citizens. Following are links to related Internet resources and Internet discussion groups, as well as selected citations from the ERIC database and the search terms we used to find the citations.
School Of Hope Teaching kids with fetal alcohol syndrome Reporter Jennifer Rattray AirdateJune 13, 2002. In Canada, about 65000 children have fetal alcohol syndrome, http://www.come-over.to/FAS/schoolofhope.htm
Extractions: Airdate: June 13, 2002 In Canada, about 65,000 children have fetal alcohol syndrome, a condition triggered when their mothers drink alcohol during pregnancy. It affects a child's mind and body. It makes learning incredibly difficult. Children who have it often struggle through the school system and fall through the cracks. But not at one school in Winnipeg. For these children it's a school of hope. Eleven-year-old Jesse Laporte has fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), but Jesse is thriving at school because he goes to Winnipeg's David Livingstone School. The public elementary school has two special classrooms for 16 children with fetal alcohol syndrome. Eight years ago, the stereotype about kids and FAS was challenged by four women there. Leading the way was Angeline Ramkissoon, the school's principal. "We had a group of kids coming into our school system who are fetal alcohol syndrome and we knew absolutely nothing about fetal alcohol," she says. "We were overwhelmed because, like everything else, you're afraid of the unknown. And when you don't know much about it, well the best thing to do is to find out about it." "These kids are so sensitive to sight and sounds that they
