Recommended Doctors
It is extremely important that parents and caregivers of individuals who have
fetal alcohol syndrome disorder be as informed as possible. It is recommended
that all caregivers become ‘experts’ in this disorder by reading books and
learning from the internet so that they can provide early intervention at home.
In addition, parents and caregivers interface with schools, and
private/government agencies. To be an effective advocate for your child, it is
important for the parent/caregiver to know as much about FASDs as possible.
