Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In the first book of its kind, experts describe how to help people with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. A summary of recent findings and recommendations is presented by the team who conducted the largest study ever done on people of all ages with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effects. Twenty-one experts from the fields of human services, education, and criminal justice respond by describing their solutions to this problem of a birth defect that targets the brain and has lifelong consequences. Some of the most crippling secondary disabilities that people with FAS/FAE face include mental health problems, disrupted school experience, inappropriate sexual behavior, trouble with the law, alcohol and drug problems, difficulty caring for their children, and homelessness. This book acknowledges the diverse and multifaceted needs of people with FAS/FAE across the lifespan. It will be valuable for parents and the many professionals working with people with FAS/FAE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Report on Co-occuring Disorders, August 24, 2009
By Mom of 6 (Central California USA) - See all my reviews
This book opens the door on FAS and co-occuring disorders. It is technical in a way, but I am not educated in social work or FAS specifically and it was not a difficult read. A must have in your Fetal Alcohol Syndrome library.

This book was too detailed for me. I have ready very little of it. I use it for a reference book.
