What We Can Do About Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Ann Pytkowicz Streissguth, PhD When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, within minutes the blood alcohol level in the fetus becomes about the same as that in the mother. The embryo and fetus are growing and changing so rapidly that their development can be altered by exposure to certain toxic drugs, like alcohol. Amounts of alcohol that have no perceptible long-term effect on the mother can produce long-lasting effects on the offspring. The birth defect cause by heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol in utero is called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS is the most common known cause of mental retardation in the western world. Yet FAS is entirely preventable. Lemoine, a French pediatrician, noted a characteristic appearance and behavior among children of alcoholic mothers. He concluded in a 1968 paper that the characteristics were so distinctive that alcoholism in the mothers could be diagnosed by observing the children. In 1973 Jones, Smith, and colleagues independently made similar observations and termed this characteristic pattern of physical abnormalities Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Since then, hundreds of reports of patients from all racial groups have been published.

NATHHAN National Challenged Homeschoolers Associated Network Christian Families Homeschooling Special Needs Children Home Login Contact Us Resource Room Fostering and Adopting FAS Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Children By Linda Dillon, Arlington, WA We adopted 2 little boys from an orphanage in Russia. They were 4 and 6 years old when we brought them home. Now they are 9 and 11 years old. Their Russian mother died of alcoholism. It is interesting that the younger boy is much more affected. Our theory is that their Russian mother was drinking a lot more during that pregnancy. We took the younger son to the University of Washington FAS clinic. They diagnosed him as having ARND (Alcohol Related Neurobehavioral Disorder). Basically it is a new way of saying FAE. They said he has "mild FAS facial features" and his IQ was "at the low end of normal." We have found that parenting a child with this problem is very challenging. We found the following things have helped: 1. Give only one instruction at a time. If we say, "Wash your sticky hands, and then change your clothes," our son hears only the last part, and begins to strip off his clothes with sticky hands. So break it down into two separate parts, and wait until the first one is completed before giving him the second instruction. 2. Check the child's clothing every morning. At age 9 our son still often puts on underwear, pants and shirts backwards or inside out, or his shoes on the wrong feet. He also will put on a coat to go outside when it is 90 degrees outside, or forget to put on his coat when it is snowing outside. So he needs reminding.

NOFAS Curriculum for Graduate Nursing, Nurse Midwifery, and Physician Assistant Students Foreword In 1973, researchers in the United States published a landmark report describing a pattern of birth defects in children born to women who had consumed alcohol during their pregnancy know as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS refers to a constellation of physical, cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, which can include, growth retardation, a distinct pattern of facial dysmorphology, and mental retardation. The U.S. Surgeon General published an advisory on alcohol and pregnancy in 1981, recommending that women who are pregnant, or are considering pregnancy, not drink alcoholic beverages. The advisory stated, and a growing body of research during the past two decades has shown, that as little as an ounce of alcohol per day may result in significantly decreased birth weight, developmental delays and other anomalies characteristic of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The advisory also urged health professionals to inquire routinely about alcohol consumption by patients who are pregnant or considering pregnancy. It concluded that each patient should be advised not to drink alcoholic beverages and to be aware of the alcohol content of foods and drugs. Despite that warning, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found a sixfold increase in the incidence of FAS from 1979 - 1993, and in and that same year the

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: A Father's Story by Sandra Williams Schlenker M ichael Dorris wanted to be a father, but he lacked a partner. Did this stop him? No; Dorris decided to adopt. His decision came at a busy time. His candidacy for a Yale doctorate was in the works. He had recently completed a cross-country move from Alaska to New Hampshire and was beginning a new job assignment. Being part Native American, Dorris requested a Native American child. His application was forwarded to a national adoption service, which located a three-year-old boy from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Dorris was warned that the child had been born premature. His mother had been a heavy drinker and had neglected him; he had not been toilet-trained or taught to speak more than a few words. Despite these problems, Dorris was committed to adopt the boy he calls Adam* in his book The Broken Cord Dorris labored over his manuscript six years. Since its publication, he has been heaped with praise for telling the story of raising a child diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS is now recognized as the leading known cause of mental retardation in the Western world (Burgess and Streissguth, 1992). Statistics A February 16, 1993, story in the Argus Leader indicated that 8,000 FAS babies are born each year in the United States. Another 48,000 are born with Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), a condition with less pronounced symptoms.

This book would be the quickest and best way, other than through years of living with someone with FAS, to try to understand the complexities of this condition. MOST people cannot understand it until they either have lived with it for years, worked with it for years, or at the very least read this book. Highly recommended. Dont raise, teach, or work with a FAS child and thier family without this kind of knowledge.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Parental Experiences and the Role of Family Counselors by Patrick J. Morrissette The Qualitative Report , Volume 6, Number 2 June, 2001 (http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR6-2/morrissette.html) Abstract This paper discusses the experiences of foster/adoptive parents who raise children diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and the instrumental role family counselors can play regarding child management issues, intimate relationships, larger system collaboration, and research. For the actual study, six parents participated in individual, in-depth tape-recorded interviews. Each interview was transcribed, thematically analyzed, and revealed seven predominant themes including (a) constant vigil, (b) effects on marriages, (c) child management, (d) parental issues, (e) interactions with professional community, (f) emancipation concerns, and (g) medical implications. The ways in which family counselors can intervene are reviewed and include the role of clinician, facilitator, and researcher/educator. .

definition Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Syndrome (FASD) , often referred to as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), and other Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBDs) are a series of birth disabilities related to alcohol. FASD is a pattern of mental and physical problems that may occur in some children whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. While the baby is developing in the mother, alcohol the mother drinks is passed to the developing child. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is now regarded as one of the leading causes of mental retardation in the US. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is entirely preventable . If a woman of childbearing age does not drink when she could become pregnant or is pregnant, her child will not have FASD. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that reported rates of FASD vary widely. Currently, it is estimated that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (the most severe form) is seen in 0.2 to 1.5 per 1,000 live births in the U.S. Children diagnosed as suffering from FASD have lifelong behavioral, intellectual and physical difficulties. Not all babies and children are affected the same way and the

News 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. Zamora said she was excited about the turnout. "It's very nice."

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Reports Increase at Sixfold Rate, CDC Says ALCOHOL September 1995 According to recent data released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the rate of reported fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) has increased sixfold between 1979 and 1993 ("Update: Trends in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome United States, 1979-1993," Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , April 7, 1995, p. 1; "FAS Births Six Times Higher in 1993 Than in 1979: CDCP," Drugs and Drug Abuse Education , March 1995, p. 26). Data collected by the CDC in the Birth Defects Monitoring Program (BDMP) show that in 1993, the rate of newborn FAS was 6.7 per 10,000 infants, while in 1979 that rate was 1.0 per 10,000 births. Hospital data management services voluntarily submit data on births to the CDC for the BDMP. To be diagnosed with FAS, children must exhibit abnormalities in three areas: growth (height, weight, or head circumference), central nervous system (behavioral or mental problems, for instance), and appearance (a specific pattern of recognizable deformities). Editors of MMWR cautioned that the increasing rate may be a result of greater awareness of FAS, not necessarily greater incidence.

© 2000 Jordan Institute for Families Vol. 2, No. 2 April 1997 Supporting Families Whose Children Have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) One out of every 750 children born in the United States has fetal alcohol syndrome (Merolla, 1993). Fetal alcohol effect (FAE) and fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), the more severe manifestation, are organic brain disorders in children caused by a mother's use of alcohol during pregnancy. Poor parenting after birth does not cause FAE or FAS. These are lifelong conditions that can affect anyone, regardless of race or economic status (Montana FAS/FAE Program, 1996). The Condition When they are born, children with FAS are frequently small and have a low birth weight. Often they are born prematurely. Physical characteristics of children with FAS include abnormally small heads, facial irregularities (such as thin or wide lips or malformed or misalligned teeth), widely spaced eyes, short noses, flat cheeks, limb and joint abnormalities, poor coordination, and heart defects. Central nervous system damages sometimes are manifested as developmental disabilities, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, seizures, developmental delays, and behavioral disorders.

document.write(""); document.write(""); Indepth Viewpoint School of Hope 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. Angeline Ramkissoon 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."
