Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term describing

a range of effects that can occur in children whose mother drank alcohol

during pregnancy. These effects can include physical, behavioral and

learning problems. People affected are often seen as having willful be-

havior, when the reality is they are living with an invisible disability which

affects their behavior: brain damage. With proper diagnosis, specific in-

tervention techniques implemented by professionals, parents, and teach-
