Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition characterized by abnormal facial features, growth retardation, and central nervous system problems. It can occur if a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy. Children with FAS may have physical disabilities and problems with learning, memory, attention, problem solving, and social/behavioral problems. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her unborn baby. There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink while pregnant and there also does not appear to be a safe time to drink during pregnancy either. Therefore, it is recommended that women abstain from drinking alcohol at any time during pregnancy. Women who are sexually active and do not use effective birth control should also refrain from drinking because they could become pregnant and not know for several weeks or more.

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.

Active Learning: Bridging the Gap for Fetal Alcohol Effect Children 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.

Resources for FAS caregivers 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)?

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 #2 The other day when I would not give Seth something that he wanted, exactly when he wanted it, he stood there, hands on hips, and said, "That's it, mom. I'm about at the end of my rope. You need to go to your room until you can follow directions!" (Oh please let me go to my room!) MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE MONTH Seth has just started a new program in our home school district. This is a significant change for him. He has a new school, new teacher, and new aide. We were very anxious about all the changes and his ability to handle it. We are very proud to say, he is doing incredibly well. We are very appreciative to his past teacher (Mrs. L), his past aide (Fran), his current teacher's, (Mrs. M and Mrs. H) and to our friend and CSE Chair, Bruce. Seth's success would not be possible without these wonderful people in his life. Auditory Integration Training (AIT) - A Promising Treatment for Children With Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects

Treatments for fetal alcohol syndrome may be inappropriate A new study overturns the notion that children with fetal alcohol syndrome have the same learning problems as children with attention deficit disorders. The surprising findings by Emory researchers offer guidance on developing new teaching methods and drug treatments for children with FAS. Those now used may be the opposite of what children with FAS need, the study suggested. The new work, published in the February issue of Alcoholism, examined how children with FAS learn compared to children with attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder. FAS affects children whose mothers drank heavily during pregnancy. Children with FAS have behavioral and learning problems in addition to brain damage and facial abnormalities. "FAS was never before looked at in this way," according to the study's lead researcher, Claire Coles, an associate professor of psychology. "We just assumed that the kids with FAS have ADHD and gave them Ritalin." The Emory team expected the new study to confirm that notion. Instead, they uncovered major differences in how children with FAS learn, as opposed to children with ADHD. Their work found that children with ADHD are like impatient commuters who are frustrated by traffic and impulsively switch lanes or try detours in their rush to get where they're going. Conversely, children with FAS behave like drivers who patiently inch forward through traffic, content to stay in line and pass up other, unfamiliar routes.

No image, text, or part of, may be duplicated without written permission. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome by Anuppa Caleekal B.A., M.Sc. Health Science and Technology Gallery www.digitalism.org and was later coined by Jones and Smith (1973) Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) lies at the extreme end of the continuum of alcohol effects on the fetus with heavy persistent maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy contributing most significantly to the full blown syndrome. Clinically, three areas are affected: (1) prenatal and/or postnatal growth retardation (e.g. infants shorter in length and less in weight); (2) Central Nervous System (CNS) damage such as permanent and irreversible brain damage, learning and behavioral disorders, deficits in memory and attention, hyperactivity, speech and language delays, poor coordination; (3) head and facial abnormalities (e.g. small head circumference and abnormally small eyes). Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) diagnosed children have deficits in some or one of the above three areas of FAS and their mothers were found to drink smaller daily amounts of alcohol than mothers who had FAS offspring. It is expected that FAS children will have some degree of mental impairment, ranging from minimal brain dysfunction to severe mental retardation. For every child identified with FAS, there are several others who are affected by alcohol exposure but who lack the full set of characteristics of FAS. FAE is more common than FAS and is estimated to be 3-10 times that of those diagnosed with full FAS.

Search Fetal alcohol syndrome Women who drink while pregnant expose their unborn child to a bath of alcohol which affects growth: it damages the brain's wiring and alters body development. The baby with fetal alcohol syndrome is born with physical and mental defects and behavioral disabilities. How badly the baby is affected depends on many factors, including when during pregnancy the woman drank and the pattern of alcohol abuse. The effects last for life. Doctors can diagnose FAS by noting the history of maternal drinking and by observing slow growth, abnormal facial features and central nervous system problems (such as lower IQ, attention problems and developmental delays). A child with the weaker form of FAS, fetal alcohol effect, lacks the full set of physical abnormalities seen in FAS. The general term for FAS/FAE and related disorders is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

KATHY SULIK UNC Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies A mother's use of alcohol during pregnancy results in a spectrum of outcomes, called fetal alcohol spectrum disorders or FASDs, that range from full-blown fetal alcohol syndrome to more subtle deficits in development. Included with the latter are behavioral and cognitive abnormalities seen in the absence of obvious physical findings. Typical behaviors of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders include attention deficits, impulsiveness and poor judgment. These central nervous system abnormalities are commonly associated with delinquency, a circumstance that is increasingly being related to prenatal alcohol exposure. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are estimated to occur in approximately 0.5-3 children per 1,000 live births in the United States each year, rivaling the incidence of spina bifida and Down syndrome. Many affected individuals remain undiagnosed and are represented in all races and socioeconomic groups. Social and financial costs are staggering, with the latter estimated to be in the billions annually for care-related expenses.
