    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.

    Matthew Miller Introduction Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a disorder characterized by mental and physical birth defects as a result of a woman drinking alcohol when she is pregnant. Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE) has the same symptoms of FAS, however, the typical physical characteristics seen in children with FAS are often absent in children with FAE, and other symptoms associated with the syndrome sometimes appear in a less severe form. It is estimated that FAS is the leading known cause of mental retardation, with an occurrence rate of 1 in 750 live births. It is estimated that 5,000 infants are born each year with FAS and 50,000 with FAE. Approximately 30 to 40 percent of all women who drink heavily during pregnancy will have a baby with FAS. It is found in all races and socioeconomic backgrounds. The effects of a woman drinking alcohol when she is pregnant differ throughout the stages of the pregnancy. Early exposure presents the greatest risk for serious physical defects. In the first trimester, alcohol can affect the way the cells are growing, altering tissue growth in the fetus. The alcohol also diminishes the number of cells growing in the brain, causing the brain to be smaller. In the second trimester, miscarriage is the biggest risk when a woman is consuming alcohol. Finally, in the third trimester, the fetus has increased chances of neurological and growth deficiencies when exposed to alcohol.

    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.

    BIOETHICS FORUMS DECISION NOTEBOOK
    Teacher
    "This is a school, I'm an educator, I'm supposed to educate. There's no education going on here. We've got our hands full just keeping order. Society hands over its children. All its children. We get kids with emotional problems, family problems, medical problems, drug problems. We're supposed to heal them and teach them. We try, but these kids don't need teachers. They need doctors, social workers, and psychologists. The result is nobody's getting an education here. Nobody."
    Why is he/she a stakeholder?
    The teacher is a stakeholder because he will have to deal with students who have fetal alcohol syndrome.
    What values does he/she hold?
    The teacher doesn't specifically state a value that he holds but we can infer based on his job and what he does say.
    Beneficence
    Beneficence is doing good for others. There are several different kinds of beneficence. Individual beneficence is doing good deeds for individualssomeone you know or a stranger. Kinship beneficence is doing good deeds for relatives members of the immediate family, the extended family, or social organizations like tribes, clans, or races. Social beneficence is doing good deeds for society as a whole.
    Analysis
    The teacher wants to help students by giving them a good education, which is very valuable.

    Depth of need fueled her devotion to cause
    Theresa Kellerman stands nearby as John plays the drums. W hen Theresa Kellerman and her family moved to Tucson in 1979, there were few resources for people living with fetal alcohol syndrome.
    She knew help was needed for herself and others like her. Three years ago, Kellerman helped organize an FAS prevention committee. Last year, she started the FAS Community Resource Center, offering education and support to parents and professionals dealing with prenatal alcohol damage.

    A partnership of Washington state agencies, health-care experts and traditional Northwest tribal storytellers has produced a collection of stories, health tips, and practical knowledge that will help parents and foster parents learn about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and gain a deeper understanding of how it affects their children. Produced by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), "Journey Through The Healing Circle" is now available to parents, schools, and other social service agencies as a series of videotapes, video CD's and professionally illustrated workbooks. The project was to be premiered at a special luncheon at the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, Seattle, on

    Secondary disabilities of FAS are behavioural, medical, or social consequences of the FAS birth defects.
    Secondary disabilities may include problems with school, trouble with the law, social and sexual problems, mental health problems, addictions, and many others. Although the primary disabling conditions of fetal alcohol exposure last a lifetime, its secondary disabilities should be preventable. It is vital that these secondary disabilities be understood so that appropriate prevention and management strategies can be developed and implemented.
    Current research tells us that all professionals working as members of an integrated team including teachers, doctors, child welfare, mental health and other community workers to provide ongoing support to the family and/or caregivers and the child gets the best results. Families, friends and the professionals in their lives, can work together to build an environment at home, at school and in the community that nurtures the development of FAS children to their potential. We all have an important role in loving, supporting and teaching the young, and nobody needs it more than the child with FAS

Contents Alcohol is a physical and behavioural teratogen. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a common yet under-recognized condition resulting from maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. While preventable, FAS is also disabling. Although FAS is found in all socioeconomic groups in Canada, it has been observed at high prevalence in select First Nations and Inuit communities in Canada. This statement addresses FAS prevention, diagnosis, early identification and management for health care professionals. Prevention of FAS must occur at two levels. Primary prevention involves eliminating FAS through classroom or community education, and encouraging women to avoid consuming alcohol before conception and throughout pregnancy. Secondary prevention involves identifying women who are drinking while pregnant and reducing their consumption. This statement describes a variety of screening strategies including Tolerance-Annoyance, Cut Down, Eye Opener (T-ACE). Medical practitioners should recommend abstinence starting with the first prenatal visit. Prompt referral for alcohol treatment is recommended for pregnant individuals who are unable to stop drinking alcohol.

    Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
    November 16, 2001 As compared to advances made by other groups in society that were traditionally subject to discrimination and did not achieve equality, children with special needs have fared very badly. One would think that the most vulnerable and dependent members of Canadian society would have achieved the greatest progress. In fact, the reverse is the case. A 1999 report by the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children titled "The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: How Does Canada Measure Up?" researched six areas related to Convention Articles. The report notes seven areas in which children's rights are being systemically violated in Canada and 26 situations where action is required before Canada's compliance with the Convention can be met in the Articles examined. The report states and I quote: In this study, Aboriginal children, children with disabilities, abused and neglected children and refugee children were found to be particularly at risk.

    with damage inflicted in womb By Eric Newhouse
    Tribune Projects Editor Melissa Clark, a 22-year-old victim of fetal alcohol syndrome, recently learned a painful lesson about trust. She was home alone in Great Falls when a man rang the doorbell. Although she didn't know him, she let him in. He walked to her bedroom, started to undress, and told her to do the same. She did. When it was all over, she called her foster mother, Johnelle Howanach, who called the police. But officers wrote it off as consensual sex. Not so, insisted Howanach. Clark's brain was damaged as a result of her birth mother drinking during her pregnancy, and she didn't know that having sex with a stranger is wrong.
