What is FASD?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic term for severe neurodevelopmental impairments (you may see these as difficulties with physical activities, speech, memory and behaviour) that result from an acquired brain injury caused by alcohol exposure before birth.  See Understanding FASD for more information.
