Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure.

Individuals with FASD can experience a range of developmental, intellectual, behavioural and social challenges.

Your One Kids Place FASD team member will work with your family, service providers and educators to build capacity for supporting your child or youth based on the best available evidence of FASD supports.
