Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) refers to the wide range of
physical, cognitive, and behavioral birth defects caused by maternal
alcohol consumption during pregnancy. These effects may include
physical, mental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities with possible
lifelong implications.

Although 100% preventable, FASD affects as many as 1 in 100 births each year, and the number of women who consume alcohol during pregnancy is still problematic. This presentation will discuss the risks of consuming alcohol during pregnancy; the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure throughout the lifespan; techniques for working with women to reduce risky drinking behaviors; strategies for preventing and/or reducing secondary disabilities; and federal, state and local resources available for professionals and families.

On Thursday July 8, 2010 from 2-3:30 pm we welcome you to join in on this Webinar with Margo Singer of NYS Office of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse
