How FASD Presents Across the Lifespan

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Prevention, Recognition and Management of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Abstract

The importance of early recognition of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is critical to supporting early diagnosis, and facilitating referrals for appropriate interventions to promote optimal outcomes and reduce comorbidity at every age [1]. It is therefore important for the clinician to be able to recognize not only the facial and physical characteristics but also the clinical neurobehavioral symptoms of FASD across the age span. The purpose of this chapter is to review the presentation of FASD across infancy to adulthood and provides key practice points for clinical assessment.
