Extractions: dqmcodebase = "nav/" //script folder location Esta página en Español 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.

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.

Extractions: dqmcodebase = "nav/" //script folder location Esta página en Español Developing Intervention Strategies for Children Intervening with Children and/or Adolescents with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorders Prenatal alcohol exposure can result in facial abnormalities, growth problems, and developmental and behavioral problems, as well as other birth defects. Children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) can have serious lifelong disabilities. CDC-sponsored studies find that children with FAS/ARND are at very high risk for developing secondary conditions such as difficulties in school, trouble with the law, substance abuse problems, and mental health problems. Currently, interventions for children with FAS/ARND are often non-specific, unsystematic, and/or lack scientific evaluation or validation. Grantees are working together with CDC, through a collaborative effort, to identify, develop, and evaluate effective strategies for intervening with children with FAS/ARND and their families. Through these interventions, researchers are trying to help children with FAS/ARND develop to their full potential, prevent secondary conditions, and provide education and support to caregivers and families.
