Description
Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: A Guide to FASD for Parents, Carers and Professionals By Maria Catterick and Liam Curran, Jessica Kingsley Publishers This guide provides an essential introduction to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), the most common non-genetic learning disability caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy. It explains how alcohol can harm the foetus and disrupt development, and describes how FASD affects individuals at different stages of their lives. With clear explanations, simple diagrams, photographs and charts, this book offers practical advice on identifying FASD, supporting mothers at risk, and helping children, young people and adults with FASD. It is an accessible resource for professionals working in social care, education, healthcare, and family support, as well as parents and carers who need guidance on caring for individuals with FASD.
