An Overview of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs): FASD-Informed Care to Inform Student Support
Abstract
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are prevalent and impact student functioning in a variety of ways. This chapter focuses on providing school counselors with the information needed to develop an understanding of the history and prevalence of FASDs, diagnostic considerations, and terminology, the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure, and a framework for providing FASD-informed care for their students. The FASD-informed approach to intervention includes methods for identifying students with FASD. Considerations of the student's individual strengths and weaknesses are reviewed as are considerations of the student's environmental influences, cultural and linguistic differences, and family involvement. Strategies for collaborating and consulting with others such as family members, educators, other school-based providers, medical practitioners, and community providers are discussed. The importance of accommodations and how to select appropriate interventions are presented and resources are provided.
