What Are the Treatments for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder?
The Fetal Alcohol Disorders Society reports that 37 percent of babies are exposed to binge drinking during pregnancy and that 15 percent of those babies are born needing special education. A mother who drinks alcohol during pregnancy places her baby at risk of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FAS), which affects facial features, growth and the central nervous system of her developing baby. This can lead to both learning and behavioral difficulties for the child. There is no cure for FAS, but there are several treatment options available.
