Fetal alcohol syndrome Indian and Inuit Health Committee , Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) Reference No. II02-01 Also available Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: What you should know about drinking during pregnancy Reprints of this position statement are available from the Canadian Paediatric Society, 100-2204 Walkley Road, Ottawa ON K1G 4G8; phone: (613) 526-9397; fax: (613) 526-3332. Contents Prevalence Etiology Maternal factors Clinical manifestations ... Recommendations Alcohol is a physical and behavioural teratogen. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a common yet under-recognized condition resulting from maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. While preventable, FAS is also disabling. Although FAS is found in all socioeconomic groups in Canada, it has been observed at high prevalence in select First Nations and Inuit communities in Canada. This statement addresses FAS prevention, diagnosis, early identification and management for health care professionals. Prevention of FAS must occur at two levels. Primary prevention involves eliminating FAS through classroom or community education, and encouraging women to avoid consuming alcohol before conception and throughout pregnancy. Secondary prevention involves identifying women who are drinking while pregnant and reducing their consumption. This statement describes a variety of screening strategies including Tolerance-Annoyance, Cut Down, Eye Opener (T-ACE). Medical practitioners should recommend abstinence starting with the first prenatal visit. Prompt referral for alcohol treatment is recommended for pregnant individuals who are unable to stop drinking alcohol.

Tribune photo by Larry Beckner Fetal alcohol syndrome leaves its mark March 15, 1999 Woman struggles daily with damage inflicted in womb By Eric Newhouse Tribune Projects Editor Melissa Clark, a 22-year-old victim of fetal alcohol syndrome, recently learned a painful lesson about trust. She was home alone in Great Falls when a man rang the doorbell. Although she didn't know him, she let him in. He walked to her bedroom, started to undress, and told her to do the same. She did. When it was all over, she called her foster mother, Johnelle Howanach, who called the police. But officers wrote it off as consensual sex. Not so, insisted Howanach. Clark's brain was damaged as a result of her birth mother drinking during her pregnancy, and she didn't know that having sex with a stranger is wrong.

Society hands over its children. All its children. We get kids with emotional problems, family problems, medical problems, drug problems. We're supposed to heal them and teach them.

The teacher is a stakeholder because he will have to deal with students who have fetal alcohol syndrome. What values does he/she hold? The teacher doesn't specifically state a value that he holds but we can infer based on his job and what he does say. Beneficence Beneficence is doing good for others. There are several different kinds of beneficence. Individual beneficence is doing good deeds for individualssomeone you know or a stranger. Kinship beneficence is doing good deeds for relatives members of the immediate family, the extended family, or social organizations like tribes, clans, or races.

Disorder Zone Archives Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Breeyona London Matthew Miller Introduction Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a disorder characterized by mental and physical birth defects as a result of a woman drinking alcohol when she is pregnant. Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE) has the same symptoms of FAS, however, the typical physical characteristics seen in children with FAS are often absent in children with FAE, and other symptoms associated with the syndrome sometimes appear in a less severe form. It is estimated that FAS is the leading known cause of mental retardation, with an occurrence rate of 1 in 750 live births. It is estimated that 5,000 infants are born each year with FAS and 50,000 with FAE. Approximately 30 to 40 percent of all women who drink heavily during pregnancy will have a baby with FAS. It is found in all races and socioeconomic backgrounds. The effects of a woman drinking alcohol when she is pregnant differ throughout the stages of the pregnancy. Early exposure presents the greatest risk for serious physical defects. In the first trimester, alcohol can affect the way the cells are growing, altering tissue growth in the fetus. The alcohol also diminishes the number of cells growing in the brain, causing the brain to be smaller. In the second trimester, miscarriage is the biggest risk when a woman is consuming alcohol. Finally, in the third trimester, the fetus has increased chances of neurological and growth deficiencies when exposed to alcohol.

About Fetal Alcohol Syndrome FAQs Surveillance Activities Prevention Activities ... Living with FAS Living with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Intervening with Children and/or Adolescents with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorders Prenatal alcohol exposure can result in facial abnormalities, growth problems, and developmental and behavioral problems, as well as other birth defects. Children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) can have serious lifelong disabilities. CDC-sponsored studies find that children with FAS/ARND are at very high risk for developing secondary conditions such as difficulties in school, trouble with the law, substance abuse problems, and mental health problems. Currently, interventions for children with FAS/ARND are often non-specific, unsystematic, and/or lack scientific evaluation or validation. Grantees are working together with CDC, through a collaborative effort, to identify, develop, and evaluate effective strategies for intervening with children with FAS/ARND and their families. Through these interventions, researchers are trying to help children with FAS/ARND develop to their full potential, prevent secondary conditions, and provide education and support to caregivers and families.

ANSWER: Yes, it definitely is possible when these wild creatures are brought to life through the stories and word pictures of a Native American storyteller in an award-winning new video series developed especially to help families who care for children and adults with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Related Conditions. A partnership of Washington state agencies, health-care experts and traditional Northwest tribal storytellers has produced a collection of stories, health tips, and practical knowledge that will help parents and foster parents learn about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and gain a deeper understanding of how it affects their children. Produced by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), "Journey Through The Healing Circle" is now available to parents, schools, and other social service agencies as a series of videotapes, video CD's and professionally illustrated workbooks. The project was to be premiered at a special luncheon at the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, Seattle, on March 17.

55. Strategies For Parents And Caregivers Many FAS children Have difficulty structuring work time. Show impaired ratesof learning. Experience poor memory. Focus on teaching daily living skills. http://www.nofas.org/main/strategy.htm

Strategies for FAS Parents and Caregivers Prepared by Patricia Tanner Halverson, Ph.D. Keys to working successfully with FAS/FAE children are structure, consistency, variety, brevity and persistence. Because these children can lack internal structure, caretakers need to provide external structure for them. It is important to be consistent in response and routine so that the child feels the world is predictable. Because of serious problems maintaining attention, it is important to be brief in explanations and directions, but also to use a variety of ways to get and keep their attention. Finally, we must repeat what it is we want them to learn, over and over again. Many FAS children: Have difficulty structuring work time. Show impaired rates of learning. Experience poor memory. Have trouble generalizing behaviors and information. Act impulsively. Exhibit reduced attention span or is distractible. Display fearlessness and are unresponsive to verbal cautions. Demonstrate poor social judgment. Cannot handle money age appropriately. Have trouble internalizing modeled behaviors.

NOFAS Curriculum for Graduate Nursing, Nurse Midwifery, and Physician Assistant Students Foreword In 1973, researchers in the United States published a landmark report describing a pattern of birth defects in children born to women who had consumed alcohol during their pregnancy know as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS refers to a constellation of physical, cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, which can include, growth retardation, a distinct pattern of facial dysmorphology, and mental retardation. The U.S. Surgeon General published an advisory on alcohol and pregnancy in 1981, recommending that women who are pregnant, or are considering pregnancy, not drink alcoholic beverages. The advisory stated, and a growing body of research during the past two decades has shown, that as little as an ounce of alcohol per day may result in significantly decreased birth weight, developmental delays and other anomalies characteristic of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The advisory also urged health professionals to inquire routinely about alcohol consumption by patients who are pregnant or considering pregnancy. It concluded that each patient should be advised not to drink alcoholic beverages and to be aware of the alcohol content of foods and drugs. Despite that warning, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found a sixfold increase in the incidence of FAS from 1979 - 1993, and in and that same year the

September 8, 2000 PILOT PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS WITH FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME International Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Day To be Observed in Manitoba Tomorrow Family Services and Housing Minister Tim Sale today announced a three-year pilot project aimed at improving the school experience for students with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Alcohol Related Disorders. To mark International FAS Day tomorrow, the announcement was made by Sale, Education and Training Minister Drew Caldwell and Lori Johnson, chair of the board of trustees of Winnipeg School Division No. 1. International FAS Day was first held last year, organized by parents, professionals and individuals living with FAS around the world. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and the related Fetal Alcohol Effect are neurological disorders that produce a distinctive pattern of delayed growth, intellectual and behavioural disabilities and facial characteristics. This lifelong disability is preventable by having an alcohol-free pregnancy. "This pilot project to develop best practices for Manitoba school divisions will lead to a more effective learning experience for children with FAS, and will also improve the school experience for their teachers and parents," said Sale. "We are committed to improving the lives of children with FAS and engaging in FAS prevention through the government’s Healthy Child Initiative."
