Slide4Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
FASDs are a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These conditions can affect each person in different ways, and can range from mild to severe. They can include physical problems and problems with behavior and learning. (CDC)
Slide5Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Institute of Medicine* – 4 categories
FAS – Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
PFAS –Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
ARBD – Alcohol-Related Birth Defects
ARND – Alcohol-Related Neuro-developmental Disorder

Slide6History of FASD
It has been known for centuries that alcohol causes problems for the fetus
Late 1800s mothers, who were inmates in the UK, were observed drinking and had poor pregnancy outcomes
Lemoine
(France -1968): described 127 babies born to drinking mothers
Jones & Smith (1973): coined the term FAS
Slide7Epidemiology: Rates of Alcohol Use among
Women of Childbearing Age
CDC 2015 Morbidity and Mortality Report
Non-pregnant women
Any Alcohol Use = 54%
Binge Drinking (4 or more) = 18%
Pregnant women
Any Alcohol Use = 10% (1 in 10 consuming alcohol)
Binge drinking = 3% (1 in 33 binge drinking)
Among Binge drinkers: Pregnant women have
higher frequency
of binge drinking than non-pregnant women
Prevalence of alcohol use in pregnant women is higher for women with college degrees compared to less education
Slide8FASD Epidemiology
It is not known what percentage of babies will be born with FASD if the mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy.
FASD is likely underdiagnosed
Dysmorphic features can be less noticeable in newborns
CNS deficits may not be recognized until preschool age
Less consideration for prenatal alcohol use to be underlying factor in behavioral and learning disorders
The CDC: up to 1.5 infants per 1000 births with FAS
The CDC: 0.3 out of 1000 children from 7 to 9 years of age with FAS
May et al. (2009): 10.9 to 25.2 cases of FAS/
pFAS
per 1000.
May et al. (2014): 24 to 48 of FASD per 1000.
Slide9FAS Surveillance in US
2009: CDC – Surveillance for FAS in 3 states (AZ, CO, NY) among 7-9 year olds
FAS rates ranged from 0.3 to 0.8 FAS cases per 1000 children ages 7-9 years
Highest among Native Americans: 2 FAS cases per 1000 children ages 7-9 years
Lowest among Hispanic: 0.2 cases per 1000 children ages 7-9 years
No differences in prevalence by age or sex
Slide10FASD Surveillance in US
May et al (2014) – Surveillance for FASD in Midwestern town among first graders
Active Case Ascertainment –Tier I, II, III
Interview Mothers, then examiners review all cases for final diagnosis
Estimated Prevalence
FAS: 6-9 per 1000 children
PFAS: 11-17 per 1000 children
Total FASD: 24-48 per 1000 children
Slide11FASD Can Happen to Any Child
Slide12Primary Care Setting:
Screening for FASD
Maternal Factors
Report of maternal drinking during pregnancy
Other risk factors
Child Factors
Sibling with FAS

Include family and caregivers
Include client in building a treatment plan
Consider needs for transition to adulthood: Family planning, vocational training, guardianship to support financial & medical decisions
Slide84Interventions for
Adolescents & Young Adults
Individual treatment may be more effective than group treatment
Establish routines & written guidelines: Need to teach social rules, boundaries
Awareness of sensory issues interfering with success – too bright, too loud
Use multiple methods for processing and learning new skills
Watching videos, role-play specific scenarios
Expressing self in creative ways, music & art
Use active listening and build success
Slide85Presenting Concerns for Adults
Behavior & Learning Problems
Perseverates, Rigid Thinking/Behavior
Difficulty holding a job/living independently
Poor social skills/lack of reciprocal relationships
Drug/alcohol abuse
Slide86FASD Secondary Disabilities
Disrupted school experience/school failure
Mental health problems
Inappropriate sexual behavior
Trouble with the law/incarceration
Alcohol & drug problems
Unemployment
Dependent living
Slide87General Guidelines:
Low Intellectual Ability
Speak slowly and use simple and clear language at all times.
Stop between ideas and allow for processing.
Use concrete terms like “walk slowly” rather than “straighten up”
Avoid using the negative terms like “stop running” instead say “thank you for walking slowly”
Use visual cues to help with the explanations
General Guidelines Continued:
Low Intellectual Ability
Break each task into small steps and teach through repetition
Reinforce behaviors you want and use the same language each time
Understand the child will have difficulty benefitting from feedback
“Think younger”: Understanding (especially social/emotional) will be below chronological age
Examples: FASD-Specific
Strategies
