Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a useful
introduction to the most common non-genetic learning disability,
which is caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Written by
two FASD experts, it describes how alcohol can harm the foetus and
disrupt development, and explains how FASD affects individuals at
different stages of their lives. With the aid of simple,
illustrative diagrams, photographs and charts, it shows how you can
identify FASD, and gives guidance on how mothers at risk can be
helped, and provides advice for parents or carers on how children,
young people and adults with FASD can be best supported. Accessible
and informative, this is the essential guide to FASD for social
workers, family placement teams, child protection workers, foster
carers and adoptive parents, midwives, SEN teachers and other
professionals working with children with FASD.
