Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) - Newborn to Age 6

  • Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a medical condition caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. The timing of exposure during pregnancy will result in a variety of disorders affecting growth and development, learning, speech/language and behaviour.
  • Early diagnosis of children with FASD is key to helping children reach their full potential.
  • Approximately 1% of people living in Canada are affected by FASD. This means that there may be about 300,000 people living with FASD in Canada
