At present, the facial anomalies observed in FAS remain the most unique feature of the disorder (see Figure 1 in Chapter 1).

Extractions: Previous Good practices in addressing FAS The lessons learned from the experiences of CAPC and CPNP projects, working with families and children affected by alcohol or other substance use, are of benefit to all Health Canada community-based projects that are working in this area, or intend to develop services to address these issues. The work of projects active in this area constitutes a rich resource for others and can serve to enhance community capacity to prevent, identify and intervene effectively in support of women at risk, affected children, and their families. In both the project survey and the key informant interviews, respondents were asked to identify elements of good practice in FAS programming within CAPC and CPNP projects. The practices identified through these methods were generally supported by the findings of the concurrent Health Canada project Best Practice and a Situational Analysis Regarding Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Fetal Alcohol Effects and the Effects of Other Substance Use During Pregnancy, and are discussed below.

Extractions: November 16, 2001 As compared to advances made by other groups in society that were traditionally subject to discrimination and did not achieve equality, children with special needs have fared very badly. One would think that the most vulnerable and dependent members of Canadian society would have achieved the greatest progress. In fact, the reverse is the case. A 1999 report by the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children titled "The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: How Does Canada Measure Up?" researched six areas related to Convention Articles. The report notes seven areas in which children's rights are being systemically violated in Canada and 26 situations where action is required before Canada's compliance with the Convention can be met in the Articles examined. The report states and I quote: In this study, Aboriginal children, children with disabilities, abused and neglected children and refugee children were found to be particularly at risk.

Extractions: In my report I will be talking about the problems and challenges that face a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome person (FAS). I chose this topic so that I could better understand what effects it has on the people around me and around you. The study on FAS has improved in the past seventeen years; several thousand papers and books have been written to try to bring awareness and may be a stop to this horrible condition. I call it a condition because I believe we can as a country stop anyone from getting it. All that we must do is make sure that people know and understand what happens to a child if you drink while you're pregnant. To me, if you can give up something like alcohol for nine months than you have a bigger problem than just hoping that your child isn't born with FAS. The United States worries about the effects of cocaine or heroin when alcohol remains the number one most abused substance today. Characteristics Some of the characteristics of FAS babies: there are three major signs impaired growth, changes in facial structure, and the central nervous system abnormalities. Children that grow up with FAS grow slower than 90% of all other children; their disability is permanent and never the child's fault. I don't understand how some one could do something like poisoning your child that's growing inside you, that has never been able to see, cry, touch, think, and even breathe. FAS can cause damage to the central nervous system, which brings on many other problems. The average IQ of children with FAS is seventy, although a broad range from less than fifty too greater than one hundred and fifteen has been reported. Other signs of damage include slower development, problems with perception, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, and behavior disorders caused by damage to the brain.

Extractions: Recommended Reading A common myth about students with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Fetal Alcohol Effects is that they are mildly mentally retarded. Research actually shows that students with FAS can have IQ scores ranging from above average to severely mentally retarded. IQ scores for students with FAE are similar, ranging from above average to severely cognitively impaired. This means that FAS is not necessarily "worse" than FAE. It only means that children with FAS have the physical characteristics of the syndrome. Both FAS/E can significantly compromise a student's ability to achieve in school. Achievement: Characteristics Students with FAS/E are first and foremost, people. They are unique individuals with their own bodies, minds and dispositions. Because there is such a range in their ability, these students may be found in many types of educational programmes. Some may be categorised as having Attention Deficit Disorder, Learning Disabled, Conduct Disorder, emotionally disturbed or mentally retarded. In other cases, the student may not have been referred for special services but they may be struggling to keep up with their work. They may be categorized as behaviour problems - as children who are non-compliant rather than non-competent. It is important to recognise that FAS and FAE are not the problem of special education alone.

Extractions: Blackstone Valley Chapter Initiates Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Teaching and Research Awareness Campaign High School Interns Gain and Share Knowledge of FAS Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities are caused by numerous factors, some of which we have not yet discovered. What we do know, however, is that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which occurs when a pregnant woman consumes alcohol, continues to be the leading preventable cause of mental retardation. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is 100% preventable. As part of its ongoing mission, The Arc is committed to reducing the incidence and limiting the consequences of mental retardation through education, research, and advocacy and by supporting people with mental retardation, their families, friends, and community. As a provider of services and advocacy, Blackstone Valley RI Arc continually strives to carry out this mission, but we have not formally addressed prevention . until now. Thanks to a grant from the Bristol County Savings Charitable Foundation, Inc. we have recently launched our Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Teaching and Research Awareness Campaign (F.A.S.T.R.A.C.) The F.A.S.T.R.A.C. program was created by The Arc of Riverside California. It is designed to train upper class high school students as Peer Trainers who will then work with freshman students to educate them about the dangers of drinking during pregnancy.
