Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Program
The FASD Program provides support to caregivers and children/youth who are diagnosed with or suspected to have FASD. The program works with caregivers, children/youth, school personnel and other community partners involved to increase knowledge/understanding of FASD and to provide strategies and resources through an FASD lens towards that child/youth’s success. If needed, the program can provide support and guidance for the FASD diagnostic process.
