This training addresses the importance of recognizing an FASD in those with whom we live. FASD is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and is more common than Autism or Down Syndrome. Most children/youth with FASD look like their peers but with brain damage that cannot be seen. Because of this, FASD is known as an invisible disability. The MDHHS FASD Screening and Assessment protocol will be taught as well as covering the tools used and techniques for completing the protocol.
