National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Texas Fetal Alcohol Consortium Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is an alcohol-related birth disability and is the number one cause of mental retardation in the United States. It is also the only cause of birth defects that is entirely preventable. The condition occurs from maternal alcohol use during pregnancy. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, it passes through the placenta and is absorbed by the unborn baby. Children with fetal alcohol syndrome typically have multiple handicaps and require special medical, educational, familial and community assistance. These children may require lifelong, expensive, intensive care and intervention to reach their potential. There is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy and no known time when drinking alcohol is safe. Alcohol can do more damage to the developing embryo and fetus than illegal or legal drugs. What are Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD)?

Web Resources Common areas of concern in the classroom: Remember: FAS/FASD students are persons with some degree of brain damage. Children with FAS/FASD may have trouble expressing themselves. Be aware of their body language and know the warning signs for frustration, sadness, anger and other potentially hurtful emotions. Concepts that may be problematic include decisionmaking, time, impulsiveness and distinguishing between public and private behaviors. Memory tasks are difficult. Children with FAS/FASD may not be able to generalize information they have learned from one day to the next. It is important to make eye contact (unless this produces anxiety), repeat things and use short instructions. Math skills are difficult. Most students do not advance beyond a second- or third-grade level.

Extractions: (Spanish Version) By Blanche Stetler, Parent and Family Specialist, New Jersey Deafblind Project In September of 1989 we adopted a little boy who we named Timmy. Timmy was 2 weeks old at the time, and, unbeknownst to us, was born to a mother who both drank and took drugs while she was pregnant. We found this out during a regular office visit to our pediatrician after our doctor had received Timmy's birth records from the adoption agency. Since then, we have been on a roller coaster ride between doctors, therapists, and educational professionals trying to get him the help he needs. Tim has both a vision and hearing impairment caused by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. He also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and a Seizure Disorder. Even though he is now 11, developmentally he is at 5-6 year-old level. We have tried many different medications over the years to control his hyperactivity and seizures. It is an ongoing battle. It seems whenever he has a growth spurt, the medications no longer work, and we go on to something else. Even though we knew Timmy's birth history when we started visiting neurologists, it still took many years for us to get a firm diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). We have compiled the following information over the years to help us. Some things were from doctors and others were from teachers, therapists, professionals, books, and support groups.

However, progress in the development of effective FAS education and prevention approaches has not been as fully realized. Considering the potential to completely prevent the disorder, FAS research, intervention, and services must be complemented by enhanced resources for FAS prevention and education. Various advisory panels and committees and formal reports on the subject have consistently recommended the development of comprehensive, scientifically accurate prevention approaches. The goal of the NOFAS cooperative agreement is to develop and disseminate new fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) prevention and education resources thereby enhancing the quantity and quality of available resources for FAS parents and family members, educators, students, professionals, and the public at-large. Specifically, NOFAS will conduct the following activities through this project:

Extractions: By Debbie Evensen Fall 1991 Professionals and the public in Alaska are deeply concerned about the educational implication of prenatally alcohol/drug exposed children. At a recent community support group for teachers and other professionals working with children with Fetal Alcohol/Drug Effects, the frustration level was obvious. Teachers shared feelings of being overwhelmed, not only with the sheer numbers of these students entering their classrooms, but also with the ineffectiveness of traditional techniques in teaching these children. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the leading cause of birth defects in the United States today. The students with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAS/FAE) demonstrate a wide variety of deficits, depending on the period of fetal brain development when the alcohol or drugs were ingested. A review of the literature shows that only the most severely affected children are discussed, while the other 80%, many undiagnosed, are at-risk for developing significant school problems. The need for long-term planning is obvious. Children exposed to alcohol in utero do not represent a particular socioeconomic class of children though, and may be as varied as children who are not so exposed. However, there are many commonalties among FAS/FAE children and the following generalizations can be made.
