Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a condition that results from drinking alcohol during a pregnancy. This can result in the child having disabilities related to behavior, learning, thinking, and physical development.

The main cause of this is drinking wine, beer, and liquor while pregnant. In the womb, the baby doesn't have a fully developed liver that cannot process and break down alcohol. The most damage can be done in the first trimester when the baby's brain starts to develop. The second and third trimesters are also not safe either.

There is no cure for FASD however there are some things that people can do to assist those who have it. Some of the treatments include Speech therapy most common in younger children ages 3-6. There are also many intervention services for those who are 36 months and younger to learn and develop many important skills. The services help the children talk, walk, and interact with others. Many of these services don't need to have a diagnosis. The child needs to be at risk of developmental delay to get into many interventions.

Many students with FASD when in the classroom work best with a consistent schedule and an environment with structure. Some things I would do to help out students with FASD are presenting the content very clearly, and briefly, and cutting it into simple segments so that the student(s) could keep attention and obtain the information that they need. Having a child with FASD could help many other students who don't have a disability learn about the disability and accept the disability. This could help them create a culture that is more accepting and comforting for those who have a disability. Some challenges with teaching kids with FASD are that they need things simplified and short. This could mean getting the class behind or even other students not learning the material due to breaking it down and moving quickly. One major resource that I would need in the classroom is time. The student with FASD might need to stay after sometimes to get the material and understand it completely to pass the tests and exams.
