The purpose of this course is to offer a comprehensive exploration of FAS/FASD through the lifespan. In addition to presenting the myriad challenging effects-physical, mental, emotional and social- upon a child pre-exposed to alcohol in utero, we will also explore the unique obstacles and difficulties faced by adults with FAS/FASD as they seek to make their way to independence and maintain their dignity in today’s increasingly complex and fast-paced world. It is our goal to offer both a deeper psychological understanding, as well as effective intervention strategies for social service/education providers, as well as effective clinical treatment strategies for those with such difficulties as depression, anxiety, and substance use/abuse.
