Description

Description (Service) Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) is the umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual who was exposed to alcohol before birth. These effects can result in physical, cognitive, and behavioural challenges.

With the right support and early interventions, individuals with FASD can build upon their strengths and skills to enhance their quality of life. Our FASD Coordinators utilize strength-based supports to educate the individual and their circle of care to best understand the impact of their disorder. When an individual approaches adulthood, our FASD Coordinators work collaboratively to help develop a support plan, coordinate services and assist with the transition from children's services to adult services.
