Overview If you drink alcohol while you're pregnant, your fetus has a drink as well. 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.

Overview of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Excerpted from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: A Guide for Families and Communities, by Ann Streissguth, Ph.D. 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.

September 16, 2003 Health Professionals Must Learn More About Drinking During Pregnancy
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.

The project was premiered at a special luncheon at the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, Seattle, on March 17.
The series begins with the words of a Native American storyteller, who tells his listeners: "We have gathered here with Grandfather, our Creator, the ones who fly, the ones who crawl, the ones who swim, the ones who walk on four legs, and those beautiful spirits ... those who have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol-Related Conditions ... who have come to earth as volunteers to teach us what we need to know to heal in our communities."

Parenting Children with FAS/FAE
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"! MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE MONTH
After watching his 5 year old friend swing on the swing set and pump her legs to go, Seth got on and did the same. He could not do this in the fall!

Fetal Alcohol Fact Sheet "If a women didn't drink anymore during pregnancy, there would never be another baby born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Fetal Alcohol Effect." - Ann P. Streissguth, Ph.D., University of Washington What are FAS and FAE? When mothers drink alcohol while pregnant, their babies could have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS_ or Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE). FAS and FAE are a group of birth defects that have no cure. People with FAS and FAE have a range of problems as severe as being mentally retarded to less visible problems like difficulty paying attention in school. Alcohol might cause a child to:
  • be slow or mentally retarded have learning problems, with a lower IQ look different than other children be hyperactive, with a short attention span be small for his or her age have many health problems FAS is the #1 known cause of mental retardation in the United States, and one of the three leading causes of birth defects.

DIAGNOSIS, INCIDENCE, AND CHARACTERISTICS
The Diagnosis
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 haven’t 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 don’t fully understand the syndrome or its complications.
Incidence of FAS
Prenatal alcohol exposure to alcohol causes FAS/FAE.

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.

Campaign to fight Fetal Alcohol Syndrome launched
By Darryl Newman and Cassie Nicklen Published: Monday, November 25, 2002
The launch of a campaign against Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Alcohol Related Birth Defects kicked off Saturday morning as a group of 40 spectators listened as a young boy sang during the opening ceremonies.
Manuel Fritize, son of Toni Fritize, whose husband is an employee at the heath department in Hatch, said the directors of the program asked him to sing.
"It is fun and exciting. I came today because (the event) sounded interesting," Fritize said.
"I think it is wonderful that my son is singing at a community-worthy event," Toni Fritize said.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is 100 percent preventable and is caused by the mother drinking during pregnancy, according to Angela Zamora, the director of the event, as well as the maternal and child program coordinator for the Ben Archer Health Center in Hatch.
The event, which was held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Doña Aña County Health Department, addressed the prevention and public awareness of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and alcohol related birth defects. Several organizations were present at the health fair, such as Families and Youth Inc., Mujeres Unidas en Accion Contra el Sida (Women United Against AIDS), the March of Dimes and the Department of Human Services.

Teaching Students with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome If you are a classroom teacher who, for the first time, is about to teach a student with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAS/E), this guide can be helpful. 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.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Prenatal Substance Exposure (updated April 2003)
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:
  • height, weight, and growth deficiencies.
  • a specific pattern of facial features.
  • central nervous system damage i.e., a unique cluster of behavioral symptoms.
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.

Teaching kids with fetal alcohol syndrome

Reporter: Jennifer Rattray
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
would be able to hear the flickering from the bulbs."
