What is FASD?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that happens when alcohol is used during pregnancy. Each person with FASD is unique and may have different strengths and challenges.

FASD is more common than autism, down syndrome, and cerebral palsy combined, yet it receives the least amount of support and funding. FASD is a lifelong disability, and individuals may experience some challenges in their physical, mental, learning, behavioural or social skills.

Without the right support and inclusive environments, it can be harder for individuals with FASD to stay safe, access services, and feel confident. But with tailored care, community and opportunities, people with FASD can navigate daily life successfully and celebrate new victories every day.

Event 3

In this two-part presentation, Dr. Mela presents a decision-tree algorithm that can guide prescribers on psychotropic medication management for FASD. Viewers can also learn about his project to outline the benefits and challenges of cannabis use and ensure that people with FASD have the information they require to make informed decisions.

This is a recorded webinar series to build capacity, knowledge and resilience in FASD, as well as engage viewers in a dialogue with content experts from across Canada, self-advocates diagnosed with FASD and families and caregivers. This webinar is designed to educate, share experiences and bring awareness to this disorder’s preventable nature.
