Main Children's Mental Health htmlAdWH('7002568', '234', '60'); Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in Japan by Peggy Seo Oba, RDH, MPA, MBA o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o As she grew older, Hiromi had some more unusual problems. While sitting or standing, she would often bow for no reason. She had a great deal of trouble grasping objects. If a toy was handed to her, she had no problem but if she had to use her own hand/eye coordination, she would have to grab three or four times before she could successfully make contact. When playing with her feet, she would have to grab the left foot with the right hand and then pass it to her left hand before she could grab the right foot and play with both feet. Her thumb and forefinger worked independently of the other fingers of her hand and she had difficulty manipulating objects, especially if her hand were facing downward. Her method of crawling was unusual. On one side she would crawl on her hand and knee but on the other side she would be leaning on her hand but her knee was in the air with her foot on the ground. It gave the impression of a lopsided bunny hop. Whe she was older, she also tended to run with the right side of her body slightly ahead of the left side of her body. She also could not sit in a chair without holding on to the arm or the table for balance. Basically Hiromi was not far behind on the typical baby milestones. She turned over, crawled, sat...all might have been a little late but they occured within the normal range. The social milestones were a little different. She smiled very late at three months. The typical gurgling and giggling were never there. She was always a very quiet baby. The playing with the hands in front of the face and the general alertness of looking around and trying to participate with the family did not occur. Hiromi just sat and looked at television. It was her favorite occupation. She played with boxes and toys but without the intentness of the average child. She did not go out of her way to interact with the adults in her life. She showed very little curiosity and willingness to engage in activities with other babies and her contact with animals was limited to staring at them.

This does not imply stupidity, but this is difficult to enough to understand, without having to decipher the difficult terms before you can begin to absorb the information. An illustration appears after the data on FAS. Some of the facial characteristics may be found on FAE children as well. Defintion of FAS/FAE with facial picture Back to Directory SYNOPSIS: PERSONALITY AND LEARNING TRAITS This document is a breakdown of the personality and learning traits of FAS/FAE children. Knowing what to expect in terms of how they learn and process information, as well as what other agendas may be in their brains can make a tremendous difference in the lesson that are planned. Not only that, but because of some of the traits , such as retreating and isolating themselves, teachers will be prepared and formulate a plan of action to address the issue. At first glance, most of these seem negative-it isn't so much negative as it is how they process what you say and how you say it. Remember, just because you know what you said, they might not.

Home Site TOC Site Search Outreach ... Fall 2000 Table of Contents Fetal Alcohol Syndrome By Blanche Stetler, Parent and Family Specialist, New Jersey Deafblind Project In September of 1989 we adopted a little boy who we named Timmy. Timmy was 2 weeks old at the time, and, unbeknownst to us, was born to a mother who both drank and took drugs while she was pregnant. We found this out during a regular office visit to our pediatrician after our doctor had received Timmy's birth records from the adoption agency. Since then, we have been on a roller coaster ride between doctors, therapists, and educational professionals trying to get him the help he needs. Tim has both a vision and hearing impairment caused by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. He also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and a Seizure Disorder. Even though he is now 11, developmentally he is at 5-6 year-old level. We have tried many different medications over the years to control his hyperactivity and seizures. It is an ongoing battle. It seems whenever he has a growth spurt, the medications no longer work, and we go on to something else. Even though we knew Timmy's birth history when we started visiting neurologists, it still took many years for us to get a firm diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). We have compiled the following information over the years to help us. Some things were from doctors and others were from teachers, therapists, professionals, books, and support groups.

What are the Primary Characteristics? ... Children with FAS, ARND or ARBD waiting for adoption 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)?

Special Education Service Agency - Fall '96 Reference Shelf Fetal Alcohol Syndrome A key to understanding the academic and behavioral challenges faced by many students in Alaska schools. By Deb Evensen, SESA Education Specialist, Serious Emotional Disturbance Program "James," labeled as Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) by the school psychologist, had an IQ in the high average range and no other diagnosed learning disabilities. James had been so disruptive in the first grade classroom that he had spent most of the first few weeks of school in the principal's office. The first day I spent observing and silently thinking to myself this would be an easy one. It would be a challenge to see how fast we could turn this classroom, and James, around. During my discussion with the teacher at the end of the school day, I offered to teach the class the next day in order to demonstrate a few techniques. Betty, the teacher, was happy to comply and looked forward to a day of rest. Almost nine years later I can still remember how my body felt, legs rooted to the classroom floor, as I realized that nothing, in my vast experience as a special educator, had prepared me for that moment. James was supposed to do what was expected at this stage in the procedure. I was terrified (not to mention just a little embarrassed as the teacher, principal, counselor and two teacher aides were observing). As I stood in the middle of the room, I remembered a boy named Jon whom I had taught in an experimental behavior modification classroom in 1972 in Pueblo Colorado. Jon hadn't done well in the program and was eventually transferred to a residential facility. Why, Jon even looked like James! I recalled a string of students throughout my career whose behavior and even physical characteristics seemed similar to James'. These included adolescents in a program for former street kids in Utah, a student in the psychiatric hospital program discharged as un-treatable, and several pupils in my public school classrooms. In that split second I knew there was an important link between all these former students and James. But, what was it?

Contact: Sharon Newcomer Carolyn Morrison March 15, 2001 How Can Raccoon Twins, A Fox, A Bear And A Puffin Teach Parents About Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? OLYMPIA - - QUESTION: Is it possible for a pair of raccoons, a fox, a bear and a puffin to make life more manageable for children and adults suffering from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? ANSWER: Yes, it definitely is possible when these wild creatures are brought to life through the stories and word pictures of a Native American storyteller in an award-winning new video series developed especially to help families who care for children and adults with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Related Conditions. 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 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."

FAS FACTS Fetal Alcohol Syndrome What is FAS / FAE / ARBD ? The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Study Group of the National Council on Alcoholism outlines minimal criteria for the diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) as being "evidence of abnormalities in three specific areas: growth, central nervous system functions, and facial characteristics." Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is the term commonly used to describe children with fewer or less severe birth defects in the same areas. In both FAS and FAE, the birth defects are caused when a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy. FAS and FAE are 100% preventable. Alcohol Related Birth Defects (ARBD) is a term that is used to describe birth defects caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol that had previously been called FAS/FAE.
