Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is the most prevalent, non-genetic Neurodevelopmental Disorder in the developed world, impacting 1 child in every classroom. It is a lifelong body and brain disability that is caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. The presentation will provide participants of how FASD impacts function, specifically in childhood and early adolescents and how occupational therapists are ideally placed to support families and communities impacted.
