Research estimates children in the foster care system are 10 to 15 times more likely to be exposed to alcohol prenatally than the general population making this population especially at risk of having a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). FASD is a medical condition that consists of a range of physical, behavioral, mental and cognitive symptoms caused by alcohol exposed pregnancies. This training will provide an overview of the basics of FASD, discusses common symptoms and the challenges caregivers and families face related to FASD in the foster care system. Then we will explore effective strategies to best support children with an FASD.
