Course Title: Believing is seeing: How to recognize, support, and prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) through the lifespan
Course Description: The seminar will start with laying the groundwork for knowledge about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Description: Disorders (FASDs). Progressing from there, the focus will shift to constructing a comprehensive understanding of FASD by delving into the strengths and needs of individuals impacted, and addressing the issues of mis- or under-diagnosis that weaken the societal framework. Following this, we will learn and practice tools designed to support accurate diagnoses and effective interventions for individuals with an FASD. Next, transitions across the lifespan to bolster overall success will be explored. Lastly, we will examine the importance of prevention and work together to explore how we can pave the way towards building a strong community through increased awareness.
