The Invisible Children and Families of FASD part 2

This is a continuation of Part 1 of a series on children and families affected with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD). This is a condition that affects babies born to mothers who drank alcohol during their pregnancy. Children with FASD can be affected with physical, mental, behavioral, and learning difficulties, and FASD can have lifelong consequences.

In the previous section, adoptive mothers told their stories about FASD, mothers searched for a diagnosis to understand the treatment of children diagnosed with FASD, and a specialist discussed statistics of FASD.

In this section, mothers describe their experiences raising children with FASD. This video provides information about the symptoms and treatment of children with FASD due to fetal exposure to alcohol during pregnancy.
